mehrere Informationen

The Mulderbosch Faithful Hound Red flows into the glass in a deep red with a dark core and mahogany rim and smells seductively of cassis, dried figs, sweet dates as well as fine cloves and moist forest soil. Exuberant and generous on the nose, this red wine is at the same time elegantly restrained with fine hints of dark fruit and freshly dug earth on the nose. With every sip, the palate is caressed by the richly textured flavours of Christmas pudding and ripe plums. A magnificent drop! This text has been automatically translated.

Treatment in the cellar

The hand-picked grapes were crushed and soaked in steel fermenters to allow them to start fermentation spontaneously. The wine fermented dry on the skins and then underwent malolactic fermentation before being blended and aged for 16 months in 30% new French oak barrels and 70% in second and third wood.
