Dornfelder trocken 2018 - Thorsten Krieger
The Dornfelder from Thorsten Krieger is a pure, harmonious and juicy red wine from the German wine-growing region Rhodt in the Palatinate.
With a garnet red and ruby red highlights, this wine presents itself in the glass. Thanks to the Dornfelder grape variety, the nose enjoys present aromas of sour cherries and red berry fruits. Due to the wood aging, fine roasted aromas and a little vanilla are added. Fine spicy notes and the fruity fullness of the nose capture the palate. The texture of this German red wine is wonderfully juicy and accompanies the fruity finish.
Vinification of the Dornfelder Weingut Krieger
The Dornfelder grapes grow in the Southern Palatinate on loamy, sandy, marly and clayey soils.
After the selective harvest of the grapes, the grapes are first macerated in Thorsten Krieger's wine cellar. The grapes are then gently pressed and the mash is fermented in stainless steel tanks at a controlled temperature. Once the fermentation process is complete, the wine matures for 10 months in oak barrels.
