Description:
Of the three “sweeter” wines we produce, our Halbtrocken (meaning “half-dry”) is a rare offering of what one can consider a “sweet red wine.” Our Halbtrocken is a blend of our sweet wine program (which includes Riesling and Chardonnay) with the softer and lighter blends of our Cabernet Sauvignon. The Halbtrocken blend is an opportunity to share the flavors of our bolder and heavier red wines by softening their texture, toning down their tannins, and adding light fruit nuances to the blend. In order to showcase a red wine of this nature, we search our cellar for our softest Cabernet Sauvignon blend that has a relatively low tannic structure. We then blend in components of our sweet program to add tropical and “fruity” nuances “in between” the tannins of the red wine. This means there are still many tannins present to add structure and food paring opportunities, but the sweetness softens and spreads their structure. Compared to our Blush, our Halbtrocken can duplicate the food pairings of a red wine, yet will not overpower lighter dishes, and is more easily approachable than a traditional bold red wine.
