About this wine

Vineyard and terroir

The grapes come from carefully selected vineyard plots. The vines carry significantly fewer buds than average, and are tended by hand and nourished naturally.

Vinification

Pre-selected bunches are harvested entirely by hand at optimum ripeness at the end of September. Vinification is monitored daily.

Ageing

The wine matures for 18 months in 25 hl Slavonian oak casks and 225 L French oak barriques before preparation for bottling.

Tasting profile

Bright in appearance, with an enticing aroma and an expressive, elegant flavour. The wine is elegant and well structured.

Label / history

The name “Monviert” evokes the crunch of ripe grapes when tasted. The wine has also acquired the name “Primal Red.”
