Lokalmatador Cuvée Rot trocken - Weingut Hammel

The elegant local hero Cuvée Rot from the pen of Weingut Hammel splashes into the glass with a radiant purple-red color. This German cuvée reveals wonderfully fragrant notes of blackberry, elderberry and violet in the glass. Added to this are nuances of black cherry, pepper and juniper berry.

The Weingut Hammel Lokalmatador Cuvée Rot impresses with its elegantly dry flavor profile. It was bottled with exceptionally little residual sugar. As you would expect from a wine, this German wine delights, despite all its dryness, with the finest balance. Aroma simply does not necessarily need sugar. Balanced and complex, this velvety and meaty red wine presents itself on the palate. The finish of this red wine from the Palatinate wine-growing region ultimately thrills with an exceptionally long aftertaste. The finish is also accompanied by mineral facets from the loess and gravel-dominated soils.

Vinification of Weingut Hammel Lokalmatador Cuvée Rot

This balanced red wine from Germany is vinified from the Acolon, Dornfelder and Spätburgunder grape varieties. The grapes grow under optimal conditions in the Palatinate. Here the vines drive their roots deep into soils of loess and gravel. After the harvest, the grapes are brought to the winery without delay. There they are sorted and gently crushed. This is followed by fermentation in stainless steel tanks at controlled temperatures. After the end of fermentation, the Lokalmatador Cuvée Rot can continue to harmonize on the fine lees for several months.
