Vinification of the Shiraz from De Grendel

The vinification of Shiraz - De Grendel starts with the careful selection of the grapes. These come from the renowned wine region of Stellenbosch in South Africa, known for its optimal growing conditions. Here, the vines benefit from a perfect interplay of sunshine and cooling winds, which give the grapes a subtle freshness. The grapes are hand-picked at the perfect ripeness to select the best fruits for further processing.

In the cellar, the mash is fermented, with the grapes fermented with the skins to optimally extract the colorants and tannins characteristic of Shiraz. This is followed by aging in high-quality oak barrels, where the wine further develops its complex aromas. The combination of French and American oak rounds off the taste experience with fine woody nuances. After a certain aging period, the wine is filtered and bottled to then be released on the market.
