Chorus 2006

Chorus 2006 from the Klosterneuburg Monastery Wine Estate

consists mainly of Cabernet Sauvignon, which is married here to
Cabernet Franc, Merlot, Pinot Noir and St. Laurent: Dark ruby
red, elegant aromas of cassis and vanilla, with a hint of roasted
aromas, fruity-sweet and balanced, wonderful chocolate and
coffee flavours. A wine with good length and great potential.

Our oenologist Christian Schmidt on the Chorus 2006: »Juicy

melting fruit and a well-integrated wood aroma characterise this
Cuvée. A wine of fine, solid stature and great potential which
shouldn’t be enjoyed too young.«

On the variety and origins of this wine:

Tattendorf, located in Lower Austria’s Thermenregion, is home
to some of Austria’s best sites for producing red wine – and
several of these are worked by the Klosterneuburg Monastery
Wine Estate. Shallow, warm brown earth soils, in which the
gravel reaches up to the surface in many places, give the Steinfeld
(»Stone Field«) its name.
