Hammer 2022
Smoky Cherry & Spice
Here's a full-bodied red from the Benelux region! Another warm summer in 2022 allowed winemaker Henri Ruppert to produce a wine with grape varieties rarely seen in Luxembourg. The result is a powerful blend with chewy tannins, supple red fruit flavors, and a hearty helping of red wine strength not always found in a cool climate. An age-worthy bottle hinting at the future of winemaking in the region.
DOMAINE HENRI RUPPERT | Overlooking the borders of Germany, France, and Luxembourg, Henri Ruppert makes wines that can rival the greats. From a passion for Riesling to a talent for Pinot Noir, Schengen is not just the entrance to Europe but to modern winemaking in Luxembourg.
