Cuvée Lara

The Cuvée Lara is the centerpiece of the Karl Pfaffmann winery in Walsheim in the Palatinate region – lovingly dedicated to Markus Pfaffmann's eldest daughter. This prestige cuvée of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot comes exclusively from old, low-yielding vines on the Walsheim Silberberg vineyard , where late ripening and intense sunshine well into late autumn give the wine its exceptional depth and complexity.

In the glass, it displays a rich, deep ruby ​​red color . The nose is multifaceted and expressive, with aromas of blackberry, black cherry, mulberry, and cassis , complemented by elegant notes of mocha, dark chocolate, thyme, and a hint of eucalyptus and mint. On the palate, it is full-bodied, substantial, and complex, with ripe, velvety tannins and a long, peppery, dark-fruited finish full of character and warmth.

Matured for 24 months in barriques during a temperature-controlled, long fermentation, this wine has an alcohol content of 14.5% ABV and is best served at an ideal temperature of 16–18°C . An ideal accompaniment to game, aged cheeses, roast beef, and hearty braised dishes – robust, sun-drenched, and unmistakably Palatinate.
