Vinification of the Black Print by Markus Schneider

The vinification of the Black Print focuses on quality and ripeness to maximize the wine's characteristic aromas and depth. With an alcohol content of 14% and a balanced ratio of residual sweetness and acidity, the Markus Schneider Black Print offers an exceptional drinking experience that underlines its class and charm.

The cuvée of the Black Print varies from year to year, but generally consists of the following grape varieties:

Merlot: This grape variety provides velvety tannins and aromas of cherries and plums.
Cabernet Sauvignon: This grape variety brings structure and power to the wine and contributes aromas of cassis, cedar and graphite.
Cabernet Dorsa: This grape variety is a cross between Cabernet Sauvignon and Dornfelder and brings fruity aromas and a beautiful color to the wine.
Syrah: This grape variety provides spicy aromas and a piquant note.

The vinification of Black Print is a complex and elaborate process that begins with the careful selection of the grapes. The grapes for this wine come from the best vineyards of the Markus Schneider winery in the Palatinate and are harvested by hand.

After harvesting, the grapes are transported to the winery in small crates, where they are destemmed and crushed. Mash fermentation takes place in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks. During fermentation, the grape skins are regularly submerged to extract the color and aromas of the wine. After fermentation, the wine is pressed from the grape skins. The pressed wine is fermented separately and can later be used for blending. The wine then matures for 12 months in French oak barriques. The barriques are stored in a special storage room with constant temperature and humidity. After maturing in barriques, the wine is blended and bottled. The Black Print is bottled without filtration in order to preserve its character and complexity.
