  • Complete description

    Vintage Description:

    The Cantina Kaltern 2018 Alto Adige Cabernet Sauvignon Riserva Quintessenz comes out with gangbuster intensity, showing shapely tones of dark fruit, mature blackberry and dark plum. After 18 months in barrique, the wine is nicely enhanced with oak spice that comes across with subtle layers of toast and smoke; In fact, the cool-climate freshness associated with mountain wines is what gives this hearty red that extra kick of energy to enjoy with a well-marbled steak on the grill. (Monica Larner - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 16th Sep 2021)
