The Dog

The grapes come from the Thermenregion in Lower Austria; specific information about vineyard site and soil is not published. The wine undergoes spontaneous fermentation, is matured on the skins and bottled unfiltered. It is matured in French barrique; for the 2023 vintage, the estate states at least 15 months in cask, while the exact duration for 2024 has not been documented. In the glass, it is dark, fruit-driven and powerful, with aromas of sour cherry and cassis, together with spicy notes of vanilla and cinnamon. The merchant’s description calls it dry, full-bodied and profound. ([hopibauern.com](https://hopibauern.com/produkt-kategorie/wein/?utm_source=openai))
