Cabernet PURIST 2022 Gustavshof BIO Demeter

SKU: 1108 EAN: 4260065960770

Drinking red from Germany? This is definitely a yes! A rich and healthy soil is crucial for wine as such. Warm weather ensures high alcohol (if we are talking about dry wines) and this in turn can sometimes diminish the appreciation of aromas or flavours. You will enjoy this Cabernet from Gustavshof if you are not looking for southern 'jammy wines' and like dry, complex wines that don't feel heavy. Don't underestimate decanting. Immediately after opening, the aroma and taste are weak. Only the gorgeous dark colour with a purple rim and the viscosity of the wine's tears are enticing. Pour a good portion of wine into the glass and forget about it for half an hour. Or decant for an hour. You'll regret every drop you drink before then. The aroma is dominated by cherries, the taste by berries. The wine has higher but very pleasant tannin, medium acidity and is quite dry. It leaves a varied and fresh mouthfeel. A great complement to a richer meal. Pair it with a spicy, grilled steak. No added sulphites.

Weingut Gustavshof

Gustavshof is located in the heart of Rheinhessen, about 30 km south of Mainz. The entire Rollo family represents the fourth generation managing the estate and its 18 hectares of vineyards. Since 2004, they have been operating under organic winemaking guidelines, becoming members of EcoVin in 2007. Since 2012, they have embraced biodynamic farming according to Demeter standards. All of their wines are produced 100% vegan.

Thanks to its holistic approach and natural impulses, biodynamic viticulture helps them achieve high-quality standards, making their wines more complex, vibrant, and long-lasting.

The vines thrive on highly chalky soils across vineyards with a wide variety of micro-characters, allowing for the optimal placement of each grape variety. In addition to classic, world-renowned varieties such as Riesling, Pinot Gris (Rulandské šedé), and Pinot Noir (Rulandské modré), they also cultivate regional varieties that have become rare, such as Würzer, Morio Muskat, or Huxelrebe. Furthermore, they have set new quality milestones in taste with fungus-resistant grape varieties (PIWIs), such as Cabernet Cortis.

Grape variety: Cabernet cortis

The grapes ripen at high temperatures in August and early September and are harvested at around 13,5 % natural alcohol. The vineyard for Purist is located in the large Leckerberg vineyard, which is farmed biodynamically. The soil here is easy to heat and rich in lime, which Cabernet Cortis loves. Only small, fully ripe grapes are used for the Purist.

The 2019 vintage is still very young and should breathe at least 1.5-2.5 hours before consumption, preferably decanted.
