Much passion and love as well as countless hours of devoted care went into Eikendal Cabernet Sauvignon. Its seductive classic bouquet pampers the nose with aromas of ripe berries, dark chocolate, fine spices and pencil shavings. A sophisticated wine with silky tannin, exceptional fullness and exceptional length. Well-balanced, this grandiose classic ends in a long and smooth, soft finish. A masterly drop!

The hand-picked grapes were immediately cooled down to 1°C upon arrival in the winery and hand-picked berry by berry for the further production process. After a 14-day cold swelling phase, the slow and naturally spontaneous fermentation took place, which lasted for 40 days. The malolactic fermentation took place spontaneously and naturally in the barrel. The wine then matured for 12 months in custom-made barrels from Burgundy (Pierre du Bourgogne), followed by 6 more months in the bottle.
