Vinification
The north-south facing vineyards used for this wine are grown in a combination of Glenrosa and Oakleaf soils. The vines are vertically latticed to ensure optimal ripening of the grapes and berries. Watering is planned in accordance with soil moisture monitoring. The 5 varieties were derived and only slightly crushed to avoid damage to the pips. They were fermented separately in open stainless steel fermenters. The fermentation took place at 24-28 degrees Celsius with commercially available yeast strains that were suitable for the varieties. A 30% berry component ensured gentle extraction during pumping, which was carried out 3-4 times a day. The wines were removed from the skins before they were completely dry to maintain softness. All red wines were subjected to MLF, and some of the wine was aged on oak bars, while the rest was aged for 12 months in third and fourth filling barrels to ensure good integration of wood and fruit. The wine was blended shortly before bottling and slightly filtered.
