2021 Hanna Glatzer Cabernet Sauvignon, Carnuntum, Austria

ABOUT THIS WINE

The 2020 Hanna Glatzer Cabernet Sauvignon is a distinctive expression of the Carnuntum region, where the warm Pannonian climate and diverse soils create an ideal environment for ripening Cabernet Sauvignon. This wine is crafted from carefully selected grapes grown on south-facing slopes, where the combination of sun exposure and cool nighttime temperatures preserves both ripeness and freshness. After hand-harvesting, the grapes undergo a meticulous vinification process that includes extended maceration for enhanced structure and depth, followed by aging in French oak barrels for 18 months to add complexity and a touch of elegance. The result is a wine of remarkable balance and finesse, suitable for aging but also approachable in its youth. This Cabernet Sauvignon pairs beautifully with grilled meats, braised dishes, and aged cheeses.
