Vinification of the Cabernet from Sauvignon from Merlot

The Cabernet-Sauvignon-Merlot is produced in the renowned Sud-Ouest growing region, more precisely in the Côtes de Gascogne subregion. There, the grapes benefit from a mild climate with sufficient sunshine and cool nights, which contributes to optimal ripening. The vineyards are carefully tended to ensure consistent quality of the berries. Harvesting is traditionally done by hand in order to select only fully ripe grapes. After the harvest, gentle vinification takes place, with the grapes first being carefully crushed. Fermentation on the skins takes place at controlled temperatures so that the aromas of blackberry and cherry, as well as the fine spicy notes, are optimally preserved. Maturation takes place in stainless steel tanks, thereby preserving the freshness and pure character. Some batches additionally undergo brief aging in oak barrels, enriching the taste with fine vanilla and woody nuances without overpowering the fruit. The result is a red wine with 13.5% alcohol, vinified in a dry style. The use of sulfites and sulfur dioxide ensures the stability of the wine so that the aroma remains vibrant for a long time. The combination of the Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot varieties gives the wine structure and a harmonious finish that appeals to both connoisseurs and occasional wine drinkers. The Cabernet-Sauvignon-Merlot thus presents itself as a carefully vinified specialty from France that reflects the quality of the Sud-Ouest region.
