Garbolund & Vester Ulslev Vingaard ‘APPASSIMENTO RØD’ Dual Vintages No. 2

[woocommerce_currency_converter currency_codes=”EUR, DKK, SEK,”]A wine made in collaboration between Garbolund (Annisse, Nordsjælland) and Vester Ulslev Vingaard (Lolland). This is an “Appassimento”. That is, a wine made from partly dried grapes. In this case Leon Millot from 2016 and Cabernet Cantor from 2018.

A scent of blackberry, black cherries and a hint of smoke. The taste is like entering a dark forest in the middle of the night. Slowly a green tone appears, and you find yourself in a garden of dark fruits and herbal fragrances. The fruit is dense and intense like a complex, multidimensional (but still young) port wine. The wine has a pleasant and toned-down sweetness with notes of pickled fruit, and the acidity, tannin, sweetness and alcohol is nicely integrated into a balanced, yet powerful, wine.
