Karl May Wine – Blutsbruder Tasting Package – 6 Bottles

The Karl May Blutsbruder Tasting Package contains 2 bottles each of Blutsbruder Red, White, and Rosé, so you can try all three Blutsbruder wines.

When two brothers cultivate a winery named Karl May, authentically and honestly, in the eternal vastness of the Wonnegau region, with an understanding reminiscent of Winnetou and Old Shatterhand, then there simply must be wines named BLUTSBRUDER. Karl May's Blutsbruder Red was the first wine of the Karl May family band, soon followed by Blutsbruder Rosé and White. In all three Blutsbruder cuvées, a local grape variety is blended with an international one.

The Blutsbruder Wine Tasting Package includes the following bottles:

• 2 bottles Karl May Blutsbruder Red 2020: a dry red wine cuvée from the winery of Fritz and Peter May in Osthofen, Rheinhessen. Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Cubin at 80% and Dornfelder at 20% give Karl May Blutsbruder Red considerable power. From a glass of the red Blutsbruder emanate aromas of fresh red bell pepper, ripe black currants and blueberries, along with a hint of campfire and leather. Come and fraternize!
• 2 bottles Karl May Blutsbruder White 2022: a dry white wine cuvée from the winery of Fritz and Peter May in Osthofen, Rheinhessen. Pinot Blanc and Sauvignon Blanc give Karl May Blutsbruder White mellowness and crisp freshness. On the nose, the scent of ripe stone fruit and exotic fruit aromas, along with delicate floral aromas and a fine herbal spice. Its fine acidity gives it a juicy freshness reminiscent of a babbling mountain stream in the Rocky Mountains. Tastes good with many dishes from modern, light cuisine, but also works well by the campfire.
• 2 bottles Karl May Blutsbruder Rosé 2022: a dry cuvée from the winery of Fritz and Peter May in Osthofen, Rheinhessen. Spätburgunder (Pinot Noir), Cabernet Sauvignon, and Merlot give Karl May Blutsbruder Rosé considerable power. On the nose, the scent of red fruits such as raspberries, strawberries, and red currants, along with notes of fresh red bell pepper and a fine herbal spice. On the palate, it is juicy, berry-like, fresh, with a medium body, good acid balance, and a long-lasting finish.

Karl May Wine – Preparation

The vines for this red wine cuvée from the Karl May winery grow in organically farmed vineyards in various locations with sandy loess-loam soils. To harvest ripe grapes in autumn, Fritz and Peter May begin in January with gentle pruning and early defoliation of the grape zone for optimal sun exposure, as well as yield reduction through green harvesting. The early, selective hand harvest of the grapes takes place in several picking rounds. The journey to the new winery is not far, where the grapes are gently processed further. The mash is gently pressed, the must is spontaneously fermented, and aged in stainless steel tanks.
