Winemaking

Harvest was on 29/09/2021. The grapes were harvested by hand and selected immediately during the harvest. Only healthy and ripe grapes were processed further. The grapes of the Zweigelt variety were crushed and filled into a stainless steel mash tank. After a cold maceration of 30 hours, fermentation was started. The mash was submerged 6-8 times a day. This makes the wine very dark and intense in flavour. The fermentation lasted 10 days. After fermentation, the wine remained on the mash for another 12 days. Afterwards, the All Red was pressed and the biological acid degradation was initiated. Here, lactic acid bacteria convert the harsh malic acid into milder lactic acid and reduce the overall acidity. This makes the wine much milder and smoother. One day after pressing, the wine was filled into used barriques. After 2 months the malolactic fermentation was finished and the wine was drawn off and aerated. After filtration, the barriques were filled again. After a maturation period of 6 months, the wine was bottled.
