The Salzl Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve grows on sandy soil, in an Illmitz vineyard that is appropriately named Sandriegel. As a rule, the wine spends 12 months in 100% new barriques to develop its full splendor, a real luxury in this (price) class!
The 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve from Salzl is a little more grippy than its predecessor and yet also has a juicy fullness. Aromas of coffee, chocolate, blackcurrants, blackberries and coconut can be found. As usual, this wine has an enchanting charm and an aging potential of 10+ years, provided it is stored properly.
Peter Moser from Falstaff magazine rates the 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve from Salzl with 92/100 points and writes, quote: "Dark ruby garnet, violet reflections, delicate edge lightening. Delicate precious wood note, fine black berry fruit, ripe heart cherries, a touch of Cassis, candied orange zest. Juicy, elegant, delicately spicy, fine touch of chocolate, sticks, a versatile food accompaniment."
