2021 Cabernet Cortis Barrique Winery Prof. Wartenberg
This modern PIWI variety (fungus-resistant grape variety, in German Pilzwiderständige Rebsorte) produces red wines full of character. We still have a few bottles on tap, but we’re also putting some aside. As you savour it, you get a sense of the potential PIWI wines can reach and the sort of red wine that can be produced along the Saale and Unstrut rivers. Among our reds, it’s already one of our favourites.
2021 T & M Rotweincuvée Winery Böhme & Töchter
This combination is complex and we also found this red wine complex when we tasted it on site in Gleina: A red wine cuvée made from Cabernet-Dorio and Cabernet-Dorsa. Both crosses are based on Dornfelder and Cabernet Sauvignon (that's probably not quite right, we'll have to do some more research).

2021 Cabernet Cortis Barrique Wartenberg
This wine combines intense aromas of blackberry, blackcurrant and blueberry. These fruity flavours are complemented by subtle notes of poppy and dark chocolate, which give the wine a pleasant depth.
