Harvest
End of September
Winemaking
The stems are immediately removed and the grapes are fermented for 8 days at a constant temperature. The must is kept in regular contact with the skins through circulation pumping and gentle pressure from below. We thus achieve ideal results with the coloring from the skins and emphasize the fruitiness of the wine.
Aging
Cellaring: 2 – 3 years
Appearance
Light ruby to ruby red.
Food Pairing
Appetizers, smoked and cured meats, grilled or broiled meats, mild cheese.
