Product information "Keermont Pondokrug Cabernet Franc 2017"

The Keermont Pondok Rug Cabernet Franc presents itself in a glass of dark violet with pink reflections and exudes classic aromas of fine herbs, ripe strawberries and red fruit candies. Intense nuances of red fruit caress the palate, paired with hints of effervescent red pepper and blackcurrant. The tannin structure is firm and grippy with an expressive acidity in the core of the wine. A long-lasting and powerful dry finish completes this masterpiece.

Pondok Rug - a mountain ridge (rug), which got its name from a simple and rather primitive shepherd's hut (pondok).

Treatment in the cellar

Das Traubengut für diesen erstklassigen Cabernet Franc wurde handgelesen und je nach Reb-Block und Reifegrad separat vinifiziert. Der Gärungsvorgang fand auf natürliche, traditionelle und besonders behutsame Art und Weise in offenen Fermentern statt. Nach Abschluss der Gärung reifte der Wein 20 Monate lang in französischen Barriques und wurde anschließend ungefiltert per Hand auf die Flasche gefüllt.
