Velvety, spicy, Mediterranean. Not a delicate sipper, but a red wine with character.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\n\u003cp id=\"speakable-definition\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePhilipp Kuhn Mano Negra 2019\u003c\/strong\u003e is a dry, bold red wine cuvée from the Palatinate region. The name refers to the \"black hand\" the winemaker gets when mashing the intensely colored grapes. Let yourself be surprised by this Mediterranean-style wine, full of charm and velvetiness, which carries its origin right in its name.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCherry, cassis, a hint of gingerbread\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the glass, the Mano Negra appears dark and dense. The nose offers aromas of cherry, cassis, and dried plum, accompanied by spicy herbs, pepper, and a touch of gingerbread.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn the palate, it is bold, velvety, and spicy, with perfectly integrated oak and vibrant acidity. At 13.5% vol and only 0.9 g\/l residual sugar, it is thoroughly dry. A red wine with Mediterranean temperament that brings warmth to the glass.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Cabernet provides structure and dark fruit, while the Blaufränkisch adds spice and freshness. Together, they create a cuvée that is powerful yet never heavy. It is precisely this balance that makes the Mano Negra so drinkable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eGrilled meat, game, and hearty pasta\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Mano Negra enjoys bold, savory cuisine. Grilled meat, pasta, and pizza, as well as a tender saddle of venison in a rich sauce, are its favorite companions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGrilled lamb, game dishes, and robust pasta are natural pairings when served at 16 to 18 degrees Celsius. Its temperament effortlessly maintains tension against spicy sauces.

The Cabernet Sauvignon and Blaufränkisch are harvested by hand separately at their optimal maturity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDestemmed, they ferment traditionally in mash tubs for about two weeks before maturing for a good 17 months in small barriques. The two varieties are blended only shortly before bottling, consisting of 60 percent Cabernet Sauvignon and 40 percent Blaufränkisch. This allows each variety to develop individually for a long time before they are united.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis highlights Philipp's talent for red grape varieties. It is not without reason that he has won the German Red Wine Prize several times. Philipp bottled his first vintage in 1992; today, the estate manages around 40 hectares.

It tastes great freshly opened, but often shows even more depth on the second day. Its dark fruit comes across best in a large red wine glass. Once opened and well sealed, it keeps for two to three days and improves over time.
