Juicy notes of wild blackberry, raspberry and blackcurrant envelop a soft and beautifully balanced palate with a black cherry compote finish.
 
Produced predominantly from the Monarch grape variety, which is a cross between Merzling and Dornfelder which has good resistance to disease and is a so-called PIWI (pilzwiderstandsfähig - fungus resistant ) variety. 
The grapes were destemmed and underwent six days skin-contact maceration at cool temperatures of 5°C, followed by malolactic conversion. Five days later a long, slow fermentation took place at 20°C lasting around 30 days in order to obtain a naturally low alcohol wine of around 8.5%, without undergoing a dealcoholisation process, which is forbidden for organic wines. The wine was aged on its fine lees for six months in concrete tanks until bottling. 20% was aged in French Burgundian barrels to impart further complexity.
