Product information "Dornier Cocoa Hill Red 2017"
The Dornier Cocoa Hill Red exudes aromas of ripe red fruits like raspberry and cherry, paired with a hint of eucalyptus. On the palate, the notes of pure and clear fruit caress the palate with subtle nuances of sour cherry, plum and cranberry. Full-bodied, opulent and full-bodied, this red dresses the palate with a fresh and lively character and a dense tannin structure. Its acidity is wonderfully balanced and perfectly integrated, the finish is long lasting and pleasantly soft.

The different wines of this cuvée spent separately 8 -12 days in primary fermentation with gentle pumping over twice a day to extract colour and tannins. The wines were then subjected to malolactic fermentation, which gives the wine complexity and fullness. Some components of the cuvée have been aged with great care for 14 months in second filled French oak barrels, while the other unwooded part brings wonderful freshness and a lively character to the wine.

Ausgewogener, fruchtbetonter Rotwein
Sehr ausgewogener, fruchtbetonter Rotwein. Schöne dunkelrote Farbe, intensiver Geschmack nach roten Beeren mit einem leichten Hauch von Kakao und einem lang anhaltenden Abgang. Leckerer Wein zu einem guten Preis.
