Vinification of the Bordeaux from Cabernet Franc Merlot Petit Verdot

The grapes of the Bordeaux Cabernet Franc Merlot Petit Verdot grow in the cool, gently rolling sites of the renowned Bordeaux region in France. The mild climate and chalky soil offer perfect conditions to produce ripe, aromatically complex grapes of Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Petit Verdot. These carefully selected grape varieties ensure balance and depth in the finished wine.

The harvest is done by hand at the optimal point of ripeness in order to preserve the aromas and tannins in the best possible way. After the gentle harvest, the grapes are destemmed and gently pressed. Fermentation takes place in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks, preserving the freshness and clarity of the fruity aromas. During maceration, the wine is pumped over regularly to perfect color, extract, and tannins.

Afterwards, the Bordeaux Cabernet Franc Merlot Petit Verdot matures for several months in French oak barrels, which lend it subtle notes of cedarwood and refine the tannins. Aging in wooden barrels contributes to its complexity without dominating the fruit. Only after careful quality checks is the wine bottled and prepared for sale.
