Vinification of Cabernet Sauvignon Montes Alpha

Both the Cabernet Sauvignon and the Merlot grapes are harvested by hand at optimum ripeness. After complete destemming, the grapes are separated from each other and fermented. Alcoholic fermentation is followed by an extended mashing life. This gives this red wine its strong aromas, intense color and wonderful tannins. The ageing for this red wine takes place for 12 months in French oak barriques. Only when bottling is the Montes Alpha Cabernet Sauvignon harmoniously rounded off with the 10% Merlot content.
