The name refers to the \"black hand\" that the winemaker gets when mashing the intensely colored grapes. Let yourself be captivated by this Mediterranean charm, which is already present in the deep crimson of the glass.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCherry, Cassis, Pepper and Gingerbread\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the glass, the Mano Negra shines in deep crimson. The nose offers aromas of cherry, cassis and dried plum, along with herbs, pepper and a hint of gingerbread.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn the palate, it is velvety, balanced, powerful, with fine tannins and Mediterranean charm. At 13.5% vol and only 0.7 g\/l residual sugar, it remains dry and straightforward. A red wine with body that carries its power with elegance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Cabernet, at 70 percent, sets the tone, powerful, dark-fruited, structured.

Cabernet Sauvignon and Blaufränkisch are hand-picked at the optimal time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDestemmed, they undergo a 14-day mash fermentation in open fermentation vats, then mature for a good 17 months in small French oak barriques, which gives the wine fine roasted aromas and an elegant structure. The varieties are blended only shortly before bottling, 70 percent Cabernet Sauvignon and 30 percent Blaufränkisch.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis demonstrates Philipp's knack for red grape varieties. It's no coincidence that he has won the German Red Wine Award multiple times. Philipp bottled his first vintage in 1992, and today the winery cultivates around 40 hectares and has been part of the VDP since 2008.

It tastes great when freshly opened, and often shows even more on the second day. In a large red wine glass, its dark fruit comes out best. Once opened, it keeps well sealed for two to three days and improves with time.
