Very popular - currently out of stock.
This Cabernet Sauvignon Merlot Ried Weisses Kreuz Bio from Winery Auer comes from the Ried Weisses Kreuz vineyard in Tattendorf. The cuvée of 70% Cabernet Sauvignon and 30% Merlot demonstrates how confidently international grape varieties can perform in the Thermenregion – with power, tannins, spice and the clear signature of Leopold Auer.
Yields are deliberately kept low for this wine, with only a small number of grapes left on each vine to achieve optimal physiological ripeness. The grapes are harvested only once the skins, seeds and stems are fully ripe. After gentle processing, the must ferments in open vats, while the cap is punched down three times a day. The extended period of skin contact depends on the vintage and level of ripeness. Only the finest reserve lots are then matured in barrique barrels for 18 months, with half aged in new barrels and half in second-fill barrels. The result is a classic Cabernet-Merlot with power, complexity, delicate spice and a distinctive structure.
