The old vineyards, nestled in the heart of Rheinhessen, provide the winemaker with a magnificent harvest. The unique climate for the red grape varieties results in a full and tender harvest. When the harvest is ripe, the bunches are gathered early in the morning and transported to St. Kilian. Here, the bunches are gently pressed and the red wine is made. Once the red wine is ready, Grandma's recipe book is dug out. Spices such as cod, cloves, star anise, and citrus are added to the wine. This is then aged in a barrel, releasing all its beautiful flavors and aromas. Some of the spices added to this mulled wine are secret! But what we do know is that this St. Kilian mulled wine is truly delicious.
Gently heat this St. Kilian mulled wine, but don't let it boil. This St. Kilian mulled wine will immediately release a warm aroma of red fruit and soft spices. Its taste is smooth and very flavorful, ripe and spicy with plenty of subtle notes of blackcurrant, anise, gingerbread, and a touch of chocolate. What a delightful glass! Bring on the winter!
