Vinification of the Shiraz from Brookford

The grapes for the Shiraz from Brookford grow in selected vineyards known for their special microclimate and nutrient-rich soils. The winemakers deliberately choose parcels with optimal sun exposure in order to achieve ideal ripeness of the grapes. This way they get the best out of the Shiraz variety.

1. The harvest takes place at exactly the right time – usually early in the morning. This preserves the freshness, fruit and aroma of the grapes. 2. Strict selection at the winery guarantees only immaculate, fully ripe grapes. 3. The classic Shiraz grapes are carefully destemmed and then pressed. 4. Temperature-controlled maceration fermentation takes place over several days. This extracts a maximum of color, aroma and structure. 5. Ripe grapes and controlled fermentation temperatures promote a balanced tannin structure and particularly aromatic complexity.

After fermentation, part of the wine matures in stainless steel tanks to preserve freshness and fruit. Another part is aged in barriques made of American and French oak. Through barrel aging, the wine develops its typical roasted aromas and its silky texture.

• Careful work begins in the vineyard. • Every step in vinification focuses on preserving the grape’s expression. • Gentle processing guarantees varietal character and clarity of taste. • Harmonious maturation in barrels perfects the interplay of spice and fruit.

The Shiraz from Brookford thus remains true to its origins. Vinification brings out the essence of the grape variety and the soul of the terroir in the best possible way.
