Tasting

Intensive purple, subtle violet rim, impressve viscosity. Distinctive fragrance which leaves no doubt about the supremacy of this athlete. Wild cherry extravaganza, black tea, zests and cinnamon bark, additionally red peach and roasted nuts, well enveloped into fine wood. Dry, densely layered displaying persistent spicy fruitiness, cool, smoky with cloves and curry. Intensively mineral type and pulpy, enormous long finish. Masterfully translates the advantages of the wnery´s oldest Blaufränkisch vineyards.

Pairing

Regina´s „ basic gravy“ to ossobucco, a steak medium-rare directly from the producer and double-cut – together with a little salad. Accompanying hard cheese – 4 torque style. Kummelweck with pepper salami, with roasted liver, instead of surf to turf. Roast wild boar. And highlightening otherwise eventless days.
