Winery Schappert Cabernet Cortis Grande Reserve 2016

The soils in the Rheinhessen region are extremely diverse and play a significant role in the quality of the wines. From calcareous clay soils in the hilly areas to sandy soils in the plains, they provide ideal conditions for cultivating various grape varieties. This diversity allows the winemakers at Schappert to produce a wide range of wines with different aromas and characteristics, perfectly reflecting the terroir of the Rheinhessen region.

Cabernet Cortis is a red grape variety that originated from the crossing of Cabernet Sauvignon and Solaris. This hybrid vine is particularly robust against fungal diseases, making it well-suited for organic viticulture. Cabernet Cortis wines are characterized by strong aromas of dark fruits, such as cassis and blackberry, and feature a pleasing tannin structure. They are well-suited for aging in oak barrels and are valued for their deep color and rich flavor.

The vineyards of Schappert extend over the gentle hills and fertile plains of the Rheinhessen region. In this idyllic landscape, the vines thrive under the warm sun and gentle winds from the Rhine. The winemakers at Schappert nurture and care for their vineyards with great dedication and respect for nature, aiming to harvest grapes of the highest quality. These vineyards are the source of Schappert's outstanding wines, which reflect the unique terroir and diversity of the Rheinhessen region.
