Hamburg, 12 October Heinemann by Maison Sichel. The rare wine is now available as a limited edition for EUR 69 per 0. An exceptionally high content of Petit Verdot grape makes this wine an extraordinary taste experience.
In s Gebr. Heinemann was one of the first duty free retailers to add wine to its range. At the time wine was not yet a classic category of the travel retail market. This is why Gebr. Heinemann together with some long-standing partners are always on the lookout to create more exclusive products for the travel retail market. Moreover, we attach great importance to the quality of its presentation and its visibility.
We also provide professional consultants at our shops. The handover date for the wine has been a long time in the planning as in October the companies will celebrate 20 years of successful cooperation.
Claus Heinemann, Co-Owner of Gebr. Heinemann adds: "Maison Sichel is only four years younger than our company. We do not only share the same values, but also we are both having over years of experience in international trade with premium goods. As a Bordeaux lover, I am especially pleased that we offer such an excellent wine exclusively in our shops. This Margaux wine is a unique blend produced in very small quantities; it illustrates the distinctiveness of the Petit Verdot grape variety.
Petit Verdot has been grown in Bordeaux for many centuries; it is fragile and difficult to ripen, the yield per vine must be kept low three small bunches at the most , timing of harvesting is critical, picking is preferably carried out manually, at the cellar the grapes must be manipulated with great care. It is our belief that the fantastic attributes of good Petit Verdot grapes offer such benefits that it is worth seeking to understand, know and tame this variety, accept the risks involved in growing it to make distinctive and interesting wines.
