Winery Heinrich Salzberg 2018

The Salzberg is one of the oldest and best vineyards in Gols with glacial red terrace gravel and fine-grained sandy-loamy sedimentary soils. The 2018 vintage is a cuvée made from half biodynamically cultivated Merlot and half Blaufränkisch grapes, which were left on the skins for three weeks in wooden fermentation vats and matured in oak barrels for 43 months. The cuvée presents itself in a deep ruby red with violet reflections and reveals an impressive depth with dark red and black notes of blueberries, blackberries, plums and cherries, accompanied by liquorice, tobacco, precious wood and stone. A powerful cuvée on the palate with plenty of juice and extract sweetness, ripe tannins and a long acidic arc through to the dense, slightly salty, mineral and majestic finish.
