Kerschbaum Cuvée 2021 14% Vol. 0,75l
£55.07
The Paul Kerschbaum Weingut is one of the leading wineries in Austria. It is located in the Blaufränkisch region of Horitschon in Burgenland. The term “Blaufränkischland” refers to a wine-growing region in central Burgenland, where the Blaufränkisch grape variety is mainly cultivated. Paul Kerschbaum’s aim is to produce powerful, long-lasting wines with a woody flavour. In 2011, Paul Kerschbaum placed the production of the wines in the hands of his son Michael.
Paul Kerschbaum Cuvée consists of a balanced blend of 50% Cabernet Sauvignon and 50% Merlot. After a 28-day maceration period, the wine matures for 24 months in new wooden barrels to refine its flavours and structure. This is followed by a further 12 months of bottle ageing in the winery. After this careful maturation, the wine is bottled and sealed with a natural cork.
Awards:
– 93/100 points from Falstaff
Tasting NoteDark ruby-garnet colour with violet reflections in the glass. Delicately smoky on the nose with notes of ripe wild berries and candied orange zest. Elegant, juicy on the palate with ripe cherries, nougat notes and a tobacco-like spiciness. Long and persistent on the finish.
Acidity: 5.9 g/l
Serving temperature: 16 °C
An excellent accompaniment to hearty beef dishes, grilled meats and a selection of soft and hard cheeses. Decanting for 2 hours is recommended to allow the wine to fully develop.
