Weingut Steininger Cabernet Sauvignon Rosé Sekt 2021

The Cabernet Sauvignon grape variety is renowned for its ability to produce wines that are fruit-forward and expressive. Utilizing a technique known as "helle Pressung," or bright pressing, the red Cabernet Sauvignon grapes undergo a gentle extraction process that results in a unique aromatic profile. This method allows for the extraction of delicate flavors and aromas from the grape skins while minimizing the influence of harsh tannins, resulting in a wine that is both vibrant and approachable.

On the nose, the wine reveals a captivating array of aromas. Ripe red berries, reminiscent of a sun-dappled forest, dominate the bouquet, accompanied by delicate hints of currants and the crispness of white apple. On the palate, the wine displays a powerful yet refined character, with flavors that unfold gracefully across the tongue. Vibrant red rhubarb takes center stage, its tartness balanced by a subtle acidity that creates a harmonious interplay of flavors. The wine's backbone of stone fruits adds depth and structure, while a whisper of blackcurrant and zesty lemon nuances lend a touch of complexity.
