Rainer Schnaitmann’s Cabernet Franc is a bold, youthful expression of Stuttgart-Rems terroir. Wild blackberry and red beet notes intertwine with subtle hints of red and green bell pepper. Medium-bodied, with a savory yet crisp palate, it finishes on an intense dried-herb note. Hand-harvested, organically grown, and bottled unfiltered, this wine embodies the estate's philosophy of innovation and tradition. Drink now or hold.

James Suckling

A very striking and youthful cabernet franc, unlike anything else I’ve encountered. Very intense wild-blackberry and red-beet aromas with just a touch of red and green bell-pepper character. On the medium-bodied palate it marries dark-fruit and savory character with crispness, ending with an intense dried-herb note. Bottled unfiltered. From organically grown grapes. Vegan. Drink or hold.
