Weingut Peter Briem Vectum Spätburgunder & Cabernet Sauvignon 2020 (75cl, 13.9%)

Vectum is an assemblage from Weingut Peter Briem, made from selected parcels of Spätburgunder and Cabernet Sauvignon and produced in strictly limited quantities. The name refers to the natural deposit that can form in unfined wines, a sign of authenticity rather than carelessness. The Spätburgunder brings Kaiserstuhl backbone, while Cabernet Sauvignon adds international stature and depth. Fermented and matured in a new 500-litre tonneau, aged on fine lees and left unfined. The wine is dry and grown on the warm, mineral-rich soils of the Kaiserstuhl. Deep purple with black cherry reflections and dense legs. A multi-layered, powerful aroma of forest berries, dried cherry and fine chocolate. On the palate, a clear, finely drawn tannin structure: full-bodied, complex and substantial.
