in the vineyard : The grapes for our natural sweet red are carefully selected by our winemakers before the start of harvest.
in the cellar : The Merlot, Ruby Cabernet and Hannepoot (Muscadel) are cold fermented at 15º Celsius separately in stainless steel tanks. The fermentation is stopped early by filtering all the natural yeasts from the wine. After the wine is stabilised, the winemaker then blends together the Merlot, Ruby Cabernet and Hannepoot to achieve the perfect balance between the acidity and sweetness.
