2017 Weingut Schwarz The Butcher Cuvee Rot

Weingut Schwarz was founded by Hans Schwarz, originally a true butcher. A vineyard that has been cared for by the family for generations. The Butcher line was set up to represent the Schwarz Weiss and Rot wines. The Butcher wines are all made for their drinkability. The Butcher series is now a serious hype. The great unique design and the price / quality makes this a very requested wine.
