Vinification of the Winery Manz Oppenheimer Herrenberg *** Cabernet Sauvignon

The basis for the powerful Oppenheimer Herrenberg Cabernet Sauvignon from Rheinhessen are grapes from the Cabernet Sauvignon grape variety. In Rheinhessen, the vines that produce the grapes for this wine grow on soils of limestone and marl. The fact that Cabernet Sauvignon grapes thrive under the influence of a rather cool climate also has a considerable influence on the development of the grapes. This manifests itself, among other things, in particularly long and uniform grapes and rather moderate alcohol content in the wine. After the grape harvest, the grapes are immediately taken to the press house. Here they are sorted and carefully broken up. This is followed by fermentation in small wood at controlled temperatures. After its end, the Oppenheimer Herrenberg Cabernet Sauvignon is aged in oak barrels for a few more months.
