Neiss Dornfelder Estate Trocken 2018

Dornfelder was first created in 1955, in the Baden-Württemberg region of Germany. It is now cultivated on over 8,000 hectares, including 3,000+ ha in the Pfalz. It has a moderately late ripening and stands out for its dark coloration and significant extracts. This dry Dornfelder hits the classic varietal markers, including intense coloration and concentration, with aromas of ripe cherry. A powerful wine with grip.
