Through hard work and meticulous attention to detail, we ultimately achieved great results.<br />Our vines coped well with both the wet spring and the hot and dry summer, and the golden autumn helped us achieve perfect ripeness. Physiolog-ical ripeness, sugar<br />ripeness and acidity are in perfect balance. Ripe fruit, cool character and moderate alcohol characterise the vintage.<br />From mid-September to the end of October, we were able to harvest all our red wine varieties at the best time. The average yield per hectare was 53 hl.<br /><br />Winemaking<br /><br />La Rose de Manincor is the result of the top red wine batches being made by the saignée method, i.e. bleeding off a proportion of wine after only short contact with the<br />skins - in this case 6 to 12 hours; it increases the ratio of skins to juice in the vat in order to obtain a red wine with more colour and tannin. Consequently the composition<br />and character of the rosé wine may vary slightly from year to year. The lightly coloured juice so obtained is fermented in oak barrels partially using yeasts occurring<br />naturally on the grapes. The young wine is subsequently matured on the fine lees to allow the aromas and flavour to develop.<br /><br />Data<br /><br />Residual sugar: 0.9 g/l<br />Alcohol: 13 % vol.<br />Acidity: malolactic fermentation: 6.0 g/l<br /><br />Description & drinking recommendation<br /><br />Bright salmon red in colour with a bouquet reminiscent of raspberry and cherry, juicy and creamy on the palate, excellent length with a mineral-fruity aftertaste.<br />Enjoy at optimum maturity from early summer 2024 to the end of 2027.<br />Serve: very lightly chilled but not cold; 46 - 50 °F<br />An excellent match for well-seasoned first courses, fried or smoked fish as well as dishes of white and grilled meats.<br /><br />Our claim<br /><br />Biodynamic<br />Respekt-BIODYN<br />Vegan<br />
