The name "FREIENFELD" stems from the Renaissance manor of the same name in which the winery was founded in 1900. At this early time, the sunny slopes of Kurtatsch and their porous, calciferous dolomite soils showed their potential for Cabernet.
Only in years of optimal weather conditions do we make FREIENFELD. In the nose, dark berries and Mediterranean herbs dominate (bay laurel, marjoram, lavender). Its plump fruitiness is carried by fine-grained tannins. Notes of peppermint and stone pine bear witness to its Alpine origin. The accompanying smooth tannins and invigorating acidity suggest its very long potential for ageing. Cabernet Sauvignon FREIENFELD: the legendary one.
Controlled temperature fermentation in rotary tanks and ageing in barriques for 12 months, further 9 months in large oak barrels und min. 1 year bottle ageing
