HILLINGER Cabernet Sauvignon 2016

The soils in this region consist mainly of calcareous deposits and slate. The combination of these soil types creates a unique terroir that offers ideal conditions for cultivating high-quality grape varieties. The calcareous soils enhance the elegance and minerality of the wines, while the slate soils contribute to the aromatic diversity and complexity. The terroir plays a crucial role in shaping the character and quality of the wines.

Cabernet Sauvignon wines are deep dark red to violet in color and have an intense and complex nose. They exhibit rich aromas of black currants, dark cherries, cassis, plums, and berry fruits. Often accompanied by notes of cedarwood, oak, tobacco, vanilla, and spices, these characteristics are typically due to aging in oak barrels. On the palate, Cabernet Sauvignon wines are full-bodied and powerful with strong tannins that provide excellent structure and longevity. They often have a pronounced acidity that gives them a lively freshness. As they age, the aromas develop and become more complex, the tannins round out, and the wine acquires a softer texture.
