(Germany) Carl Weinberg Dornfelder Red 2011

Reg. $13.99 now $8.99 Save 35%

While Germany has been traditionally known to be one of the leading white wine producers, red wines have picked up a lot in the last decade. Several reasons: the change of the global temperatures is producing riper grapes with more color potential and body of the wines. At the same time, winemakers have adapted to the same classical vinification techniques as their colleagues in Mediterranean areas: mash fermentation and ageing in used or new wood. Rich yield and intense color and fruit. This Dornfelder Red has an intense ruby red color, fruity aromas like black cherry and blackberry; soft tannins and unwooded character; silky and harmonic mouth-feeling with a fruity finish.
