Cabernet 'Istrice' 2020
South Tyrol DOC
Cabernet 'Istrice' was Elena Walch's first red wine. At that time consisting of a predominant proportion of Cabernet Franc and only a little Cabernet Sauvignon, the wine
showed 'its spines', just like the little hedgehogs in the park of the family winery. Today, the percentage of 'Istrice' has exactly reversed with 90% Cabernet Sauvignon and
about 10% Cabernet Franc. Although it shows less of its spines, it has gained in elegance and finesse and continues to be one of the favourites at Walch.
'The Cabernet 'Istrice' captivates with a strong intense ruby red and with stimulating fruity aromas in the nose, with red forest berries and heart cherries as well as seductive
spice with white pepper and chocolate. On the palate, the wine surprises with refreshing richness and structure, with elegant, precise tannins and fruity-spicy density, as
well as a long, juicy finish.'
LESE 2020
Spring 2020, with its beautiful weather and warm temperatures, spring flowers in the garden and thick blanket of fresh snow on the mountains, led to the relatively early
development of the vines, which settled down again with the cooler temperatures in June. After a warm midsummer, the harvest started in the first days of September. The
autumn was characterised by warm days and cool nights, but also by some freak weather, whereby the careful cultivation of the vineyards in early summer was noticeable.
The 2020 vintage resulted in wines of great South Tyrolean typicity: The young white wines stand out with fresh liveliness and clear aromatic expression, the red wines show
very good structure and straight, fine fruit.
VINIFICATION
Traditional maceration of about 10 days in steel tanks. Followed by malolactic fermentation in wooden barrels. Maturation in French barriques for a period of 12 months.
Subsequent filling and long bottle ageing.
Alcohol: 14,00% Vol.
Denomination: South Tyrol DOC
Total acidity: 5,3 g/L
Residual sugar: 2,6 g/L
Shelf life: 8-10 years
