Animal spice goes hand in hand with powerful yet precise aromas of vadouvan, peat and musk, as well as allspice and nutmeg. Tickling, finger-snapping acidity gives it juiciness and drinkability.

Color

In bright purple with violet rim and opaque core, the wine appears clear and shiny in the glass.

Nose

With an irrefutable belief in the delicacy of the aromatic essence of the Cabernet Franc grape variety, this representative of that grape, from plots situated 500 metres above sea level, enters the glasses that mean the world. Cranberries and sloes, as well as buckthorn, rosehip pulp and fresh plums paint a clear and bright picture. Animal spice goes hand in hand with powerful yet precise aromas of vadouvan, peat and musk, as well as allspice and nutmeg. And yes, there is also a hint of paprika that cannot be denied. With a certain wildness and meticulous precision at the same time, the wine casts its spell without any doubt.

Palate

On the palate, the 2017 Cabernet Franc turns into the Asterix of red wines. Agile, light-footed and somehow adorably amiable, it is at the same time spirited and filled with unexpected power. Fine-boned, ripe tannins give its lean, medium-bodied palate grip. Tickling, finger-snapping acidity gives it juiciness and drinkability. Carelessly poured slightly chilled at 15° C, this versatile Mediterranean wine does not mind being drunk young.

Food recommendations from Peter Müller

  • Baked eggplants with olive tapenade, yellow tomato salad and watercress
  • Knuckle of pork with caraway sauce, coleslaw and fried potatoes
