The nose offers aromas of dark fruits, ripe black cherry, elderberry, and stewed plums, complemented by the sweetness of dark chocolate and a delicate herbal spice. On the palate, the Schneider Black Print is powerful and dense, velvety with soft tannins; its concentrated body is supported by a harmonious interplay of sweetness and acidity, and the alcohol is well integrated.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe idea for this red wine came to Markus Schneider at a time when restaurants were still awarded for their overseas wine lists and wine drinkers loved powerful, fruit-driven red wines, but such wines were not available in Germany, which was dominated by Pinot Noir. It owes its name to its deep red, almost black color, which 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eMarkus Schneider – Wine Production\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe grapevines for this top red wine cuvée from Markus Schneider grow in various sites in the Palatinate. The biggest challenge here is to hit the optimal harvest time for each of the very different grape varieties. That's why Markus Schneider meticulously examines the grapes, pulp, and seeds during his daily walk through the vineyards. The experience gathered over the last 25 years usually tells him more than a glance at 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 into the Black Print cuvée. 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, Syrah \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e14% vol.
