2018 | Elena Walch | Kermesse Grande Cuvée

The flagship red blend „Kermesse“ presents an intense ruby color and layered nose of red berries, sour cherries, violet, black pepper and black tea over a subtle smoky/roasted aroma. Powerful, yet elegant und harmonic on the palate, with well integrated tannins, delicate toast aromas and spicy fullness, with much potential and a long finish. A wine with lots of finesse and character.

Reviews:

• James Suckling: Currants, dark cherries, sage, tomato leaves and some leather on the nose. Savory and meaty with mellow tannins. All smoothly integrated. Gently herbal and cedary finish. Intense.
