Vinification of the Bordeaux from Grand Cuvée

The Bordeaux Grand Cuvée comes from renowned vineyards in the classic Bordeaux growing region in France. The careful selection of the grapes is made exclusively from ripe berries of the regionally typical varieties Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Petit Verdot. The winegrowers pay attention to careful cultivation of the vines, which benefit from the soils of Bordeaux that offer optimal ripening conditions and lend personality to the grapes.

The harvest takes place in several passes by hand in order to process only the best possible grapes. Once at the winery, the berries are gently destemmed and then cold macerated to optimally extract color and aroma. Fermentation takes place in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks, which promotes controlled fermentation and preserves the characteristic taste. In the process, the complex aromas of the individual grape varieties are finely attuned to one another.

After alcoholic fermentation, the wine matures for several months in barrique barrels made of French oak, in order to create a perfect balance between fruit, spice and tannin. The maturation gives the Bordeaux Grand Cuvée a pleasant complexity, depth and a velvety texture. Finally, the wine is filtered and refined before bottling to preserve its typical freshness and elegance. The result is an elegant red wine that excellently reflects the tradition and craftsmanship of Bordeaux production.
