The soils of the DICKER FRANZ site are a mixture of gypsum-keuper, formed in the Triassic period about 250 to 210 million years ago. The weathered rock is meager, heat-storing and very calcareous and thus optimal for the production of full-bodied red wines. The site owes its name to Baron Franz Göler von Ravensburg (1701 to 1765). He was very fond of culinary delights and went down in family annals as the "Fat Lord". Not only the former castle building at the keep, but also his favorite vineyard were named after him. The grapes are gently harvested by hand, several harvesting passes ensure that only ripe and undamaged berries reach the cellar. At the winery, they are conscientiously sorted and fermented in small containers as whole berries and whole bunches in wooden cuves. The malolactic fermentation takes place in barriques, where the wines age for 10-15 months.
Aromas of black cherry, cassis and elderberry, coffee and cocoa. Powerful body with hints of chocolate, rich tannin and long finish.
