Profundo has always been one of the Hofkellerei’s showpieces. The Austrian variety is impressive for its cherry fruit, juiciness and liveliness on the palate – here in Profundo coupled with élevage and maturing in French barriques.
Grape Varietals & Region: The wines of the Reserve stem from older vines, grown in the deep loess soils of the single vineyards Karls- and Johannesberg, owned by the family for more than 600 years. They let you experience their origin, terroir, authenticity, precision and high value.
Taste Profile: Noble, dark ruby garnet with an opaque core, dark & ripe fruit, black cherries and blackberries, cassis with a lively bit of pepper; juicy & chocolatey, powerful with nicely balanced tannins in the finish.
Winemaking Process: Gentle vinification in wooden fermenters with a long period of maceration. Maturing for two years in selected French barriques in the centuries-old vaulted cellar of the Hofkellerei.
