The soils in the Rheinhessen region are extremely diverse and play a significant role in the quality of the wines. From calcareous clay soils in the hilly areas to sandy soils in the plains, they provide ideal conditions for cultivating various grape varieties. This diversity allows the winemakers at Schappert to produce a wide range of wines with different aromas and characteristics, perfectly reflecting the terroir of the Rheinhessen region.
Cabernet Cortis is a red grape variety that originated from the crossing of Cabernet Sauvignon and Solaris. This hybrid vine is particularly robust against fungal diseases, making it well-suited for organic viticulture. Cabernet Cortis wines are characterized by strong aromas of dark fruits, such as cassis and blackberry, and feature a pleasing tannin structure. They are well-suited for aging in oak barrels and are valued for their deep color and rich flavor.
