Vinification of the Aufwind Cuvée Red by Thomas Hensel

Cabernet Sauvignon and Saint Laurent grapes form the basis for Thomas Hensel's first-class and wonderfully balanced Aufwind Cuvée Rot. In the Palatinate, the vines that produce the grapes for this wine grow on soils of clay, sand and marl. At the time of optimal ripeness, the grapes for Aufwind Cuvée Rot are harvested exclusively by hand, without the help of coarse and less selective full harvesters. After the harvest, the grapes are quickly taken to the press house. Here they are sorted and carefully milled. This is followed by fermentation in small wood at controlled temperatures. After the completion of fermentation, the Aufwind Cuvée Red is aged for several months in oak barrels.
