A single-vineyard step up in precision: Ried Ratschen is a cooler, northeast-facing plot on the Deutsch Schützener hill. Its sandy-loam topsoil lends an open, fruity, almost easy-drinking character, but the gravel running through the subsoil pulls that fruit into line and gives the wine a firm, Cabernet-like backbone — we think of it as "Cabernet Sauvignon with blood," and the ferrous, savory streak earns the phrase. Old vines, native-yeast fermentation, long aging in large neutral wood. It's the more structured, mineral-driven counterpart to the estate's other single vineyard, Weinberg. From the poised 2021 vintage. Pre-Arrival, arriving mid-July.

Wine Enthusiast

95 points

"Absolutely captivating, with a pure and precise core of black cherry, red currant, and pomegranate, lifted by a cool, refreshing character. Subtle notes of mint and licorice add aromatic intrigue, weaving seamlessly into the vibrant, finely layered palate. Corduroy-like tannins are beautifully integrated, and lively acidity provides energy and structure throughout a long, polished finish. Complex, elegant, and profound—a benchmark expression of both site and variety." —Aleks Zecevic

Flatiron's Take

From the Importer

What has to say about this wine:

Tasting Notes & Food Pairings

Perfect Pairings

Grilled ribeye or lamb chops, venison, hard aged cheese, or blood sausage with lentils. Roast duck and wild mushroom dishes shine here.

Tasting Profile

Blackberry and dark spice over a firm, gravelly, ferrous structure. Medium to medium-full, fresh acidity, tannin that's silky but with real grip, savory mineral finish. Built to reward mid-term cellaring.
