Vinification of the Cabernet Sauvignon Réserve from Salzl Seewinkelhof

The grapes for this exceptional Cabernet Sauvignon come from the best parcels of the Seewinkelhof, which are distinguished by their optimal soils and microclimate. Here, the vines benefit from barren clay soils and a balanced water supply, leading to high concentration and intense aromatic complexity. The quality-oriented harvest is done exclusively by hand and guarantees that only the best berries enter the vinification process.

The vinification begins with a careful selection of the grapes, followed by gentle destemming. Fermentation then takes place in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks to preserve freshness and fruit aromas. During the maceration fermentation, the winemakers gently extract colorants and tannins, regularly performing gentle pump-overs to optimally support balance and structure.

After spontaneous or targeted malolactic fermentation, the aging begins, which for this wine takes place for up to 18 months in French oak barrels. The selected barriques impart the wine's characteristic vanilla and toasted aromas, wonderfully complementing the powerful character. The maturation in wood ensures a fine integration of tannins and elegance, giving the wine remarkable depth and complexity.
