1224 Rotwein trocken - Schloss Castell

On the palate, the 1224 red wine from Castell Castle opens wonderfully dry, grippy and aromatic. On the palate, the texture of this balanced red wine is wonderfully dense. In the finish, this youthful wine from the wine-growing region of Franconia finally inspires with considerable length. Again, hints of blackberry and sour cherry show. In the aftertaste, mineral notes of the soils dominated by clay and weathered rock join in. The grapes grow under optimal conditions in Franconia. The vines here dig their roots deep into soils of clay and weathered rock. After the grape harvest, the grapes reach the winery by the fastest route. Here they are selected and carefully broken up. Fermentation follows in stainless steel tanks at controlled temperatures. At the end of fermentation, the 1224 red wine is allowed to further harmonize on the fine lees for a few months.
