Cool and well-nourished limestone soils in high altitudes of the Palatinate serve as the basis for the Kaitui Sauvignon Blanc. These grapes have an enormous influence on the exotic fruit expression of the popular Kaitui. The location and perfectly healthy grapes, harvested in various stages of ripeness, are a simple yet effective recipe for success for Markus Schneider. In New Zealand, the overseas home of Sauvignon Blanc, KAITUI is the Maori translation for the word \"Schneider\" (tailor).

This led him to the idea of creating such a wine in his home region of the Palatinate, where a climate similar to that on the other side of the globe prevails, following the New Zealand model. Thus, he planted Sauvignon Blanc vines early on in the different soils of the Palatinate and experimented with them. But even though the Schneider Sauvignon of the first vintage already showed the finesse of the later cult wine, it sold hesitantly. A friend living in New Zealand then gave Markus the idea of naming it Kaitui, thereby bridging the gap between the old and new wine worlds. The complexity of the Kaitui is due to the different harvest times of the Sauvignon. The early harvest brings green, grassy notes, the main harvest stands for fruity-juicy notes as well as a fine spice, and the late-harvested, fully ripe grapes contribute expressive exotic fruit notes. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 2024 vintage was a very differentiated vintage – varying from village to village more than ever before. Some vineyards suffered from torrential rains, others from drought. In Ellerstadt, the Schneider family was blessed with the weather. 2023 brought a spring without frost, a very warm summer with rainfall exactly when it was needed. Added to this was picture-perfect weather during harvest time in September with 298 hours of sunshine, double the long-term average.

Each of the contributing grape varieties brings its own character to the wine. The Black Print thus smells of blackcurrants, morello cherries, and sloe, of bay leaf and thyme, and a hint of pepper, and aging in wood adds fine roasted aromas.

It owes its name to its deep red, almost black color, as it is almost as black as printer's ink. This bottled idea of the visionary Markus Schneider for a powerful, full-bodied, yet juicy red wine from Germany led to his international breakthrough.

Hitting the optimal harvest time for each of the very different grape varieties is the biggest challenge here. That's why Markus Schneider meticulously examines the grapes, the pulp, and the seeds during his daily walk through the vineyards. The experience gathered over the last 25 years usually says more than a glance into the refractometer. At the right time, ripe, healthy grapes are harvested and gently processed in the modern winery buildings. The individual grape varieties are fermented and aged separately and later blended to become Black Print. After classic mash fermentation in open vats, as well as in red wine fermenters, and a maceration period of 10 days, the mash is gently pressed under low pressure and then aged without external intervention (fining or similar) partly in several-year-old and partly in new wooden barrels.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eBlack Print – a Wine and its Values \u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOrigin Wine from Germany\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGrowing Region Palatinate\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGrape Varieties Merlot, Cabernet Dorsa, Cabernet Sauvignon, Blaufränkisch, and Syrah\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e14% vol.

This was topped off by picture-perfect weather during harvest in September with 298 hours of sunshine, double the long-term average.
