Vintage 2005 was this Dornfelder red wine first offered to HK. A touch of velvet and dark red color, softly tannin and elegant sweetness of this southern type of German Red wine; make it very easy for us to drink. Off dry, smooth like silk, this one has a hint of mint taste (light spearmint), a fine note of Black cherry, with violet reflexes.

Suggest to cooling it down to 8-10'C lightly in summer to start & let it air for about half an hour. It matches well with Pizza, pasta, and meat with light sauce or as a good wine just to enjoy for the Summer!.

This 2017 Dornfelder is a light and fruity red wine, easy to drink, dark cherry and raspberry, don't serve it too warm! nice red wine for the Summer!

DornfelderA hybrid of Helfenstein and Heroldgrape, created 1955 by August Herold a German grape breeder in Pfalz and named after the vintner Imanuel Dornfeld. Since 1975 popular in all German wine areas. Supplies a dark red wine, sometimes even shows a touch of blue colour, with a prominent and fruity flavour. Remembered for the intense fruit aromas, like blackberry and sour cherry. Bottled and maked young, like a Beaujolais Nouveau, very little affected by tannin extract. All-round, a harmonic wonderfull red wine, it produced under quality conditions! A deep red temptation, served slightly chilled, is a great and popular wine in Germany.

SandyWarm, airy soil that is composed of tiny particles of weathered rocks. One of the few soils that the phylloxera louse does not thrive in, the soil drains well but does not have good water retention, nutrients can get to the root quicker and vines grow well in these kind of dry sites.
