Cabernet Sauvignon Riserva Castel Ringberg

Proudly, the Renaissance castle built by the Habsburg dynasty in 1620 rides the waves of the surrounding vineyards. At about 20 hectares, this is Elena Walch’s – and most likely also Alto Adige’s – largest single vineyard. The moderately steep vineyards of moraine, mostly chalky but also loamy and sandy soils allow optimal cultivation for the production of unique, varietal terroir wines. Due to the mild climate influenced by the nearby lake and the ideal altitude of about 330m, year after year, grapes of the best quality are delivered to the cellar in Tramin, where the wines are pressed and aged. Vigna Castel Ringberg is a unique point of intersection between various soils from glacial and post-glacial times which rest on a rhyolite plate and are accompanied by the towering dolomite rock of the Mendola ridge to the west. The steep slopes on the north flank are 30,000-year-old gravel from the Adige River which alternate, in some places, with overlying 20,000-year-old calciferous and fertile moraine soils. In the south as well as in the north of the vineyard, the major areas are loose reddish limestone debris which provides well-aired and easy rooting soil for the grapevine roots. Must fermentation for approximately 10 days, followed by malolactic fermentation in stainless steel tanks. Maturation for 20 months in French oak barriques, all of which are new. The wine is then being bottle aged for several months before being released.

Must fermentation for approximately 10 days, followed by malolactic fermentation and maturation for 18 months in French oak barriques (Limousine and Allier), almost all of which are new. The wine subsequently matures for several months in the bottle before being released.

Dark, bold garnet red is the color of our Cabernet Sauvignon Riserva Vigna "Castel Ringberg”. The complex bouquet is characterized by spicy, slightly smoky toast aromas and a bit of bitter chocolate as well as ripe fruity notes of dark berries and some forest floor in the background. On the palate, the wine promises great potential with juicy tannins, chewy fullness, density and structure and a long-lasting finish.
