Very popular - currently out of stock.
This Cuvée Cabernet Merlot Riserva Linticlarus from Tiefenbrunner Winery comes from hillside vineyards in Entiklar. The vines grow at elevations between 250 and 330 meters above sea level on very deep, loose moraine soils with strongly loamy sand and a high limestone content.
The cuvée is composed of 55% Cabernet Sauvignon and 45% Merlot. In the glass, it displays a deep garnet-red color, with an intense bouquet of flowers, blackberries and black currants on the nose. After three to four weeks of maceration and fermentation in concrete tanks, the wine undergoes malolactic fermentation and matures for 12 months in small oak barrels. It then ages for a further six months in large oak casks and an additional year in the bottle. On the palate, it is powerfully structured, with elegant tannins, harmonious fruit and a long, juicy finish.
