Kalterersee Auslese Bischofsleiten Castel Sallegg 750ml 2023

Bright cherry red, fruity, delicately spicy, soft tannins, pleasant freshness, long finish.

The Kalterersee BISCHOFSLEITEN is an ambassador for its terroir. Unmistakable Kalterer. Grown on old vines in a divine vineyard near Lake Kaltern, its own 'Vigna'. Its
terroir and traditional ageing in wooden barrels give rise to a multi-layered aroma of Amarena cherries, redcurrants and violets with a hint of almonds. The elegant body is
evident on the palate. The wine is refreshing and carries soft tannins. The finish is fruity and long.

Hand-picked and selected grapes from the historic 'Bischofsleiten' vineyard. Destemming of the grapes and mash fermentation at a controlled temperature in stainless
steel tanks. After malolactic fermentation, maturation in stainless steel tanks and in used tonneau (10%) for 6 months.
