Karl May Red Wine – Kleiner Bruder - great organic pleasure

The Karl May Kleiner Bruder 2021 is a drinkable red wine cuvée made from the grape varieties Dornfelder, Regent and St. Laurent. On the nose, the scent of red fruits, ripe cherry and tart, red currant, as well as a subtle herbal spice; on the palate, juicy, fruity, velvety-soft, with a medium body, good acid balance and moderate alcohol content.

Karl May's Kleiner Bruder is the youngest member of the Karl May family and the perfect terrace wine, an uncomplicated companion to pizza, pasta with tomato sauces or grilled dishes, which can also be enjoyed slightly chilled in summer.

Karl May – Preparation

The grapevines for this red wine cuvée from Weingut Karl May grow in organically farmed vineyards in various locations with sandy loess-loam soils. To be able to harvest ripe grapes in autumn, Fritz and Peter May begin as early as January with gentle pruning and early defoliation of the grape zone for optimal sun exposure, as well as yield reduction through green harvesting. The early, selective hand-picking of the grapes takes place in several picking rounds. The journey to the new winery is not far, where the grapes are gently processed further. After 10 days of maceration, the mash is gently pressed and the must is spontaneously fermented and aged in stainless steel tanks. Kleiner Bruder - great pleasure - buy now.
