Full bodied red wines have a noticeably textural mouthfeel with bold, complex flavours. Often deeply coloured.
Dry wines have no trace of sweetness at all.

The vineyard was planted by Pastor Franz Julius Lehmann in 1932 in the middle of The Depression. The one odd feature of the wine is a recently inserted cork, suggesting the wine has spent a long time in oak, and possibly stainless steel. Black fruits, mocha and licorice all combine to deliver an emphatic message.
