Product information "Avondale Qvevri Red BIO 2019"
Avondale Qvevri Red is a brilliant red wine cuvée that fermented and matured in Georgian clay pots for over a year. It pampers with an incredibly generous and juicy bouquet of ripe raspberries, dark mulberries, sun-ripened strawberries, fragrant violets and fine spices. Its unmistakable aromas of fine minerality and earthiness complement this stunning bouquet to perfection. The elements already sniffed by the nose continue seamlessly to the fresh palate with well-balanced acidity. A wine of remarkable balance of fine tannin and natural acidity, lush fruit and subtle earthiness.

The three grape varieties Grenache, Syrah and Mourvedre were kept separately and on arrival at the winery, the Grenache was first completely destemmed and placed in 8000 year old clay vessels from Georgia, known as Qvevris, where the Grenache mash fermented on the primary yeast with daily immersion of the marc cap. After a month on the skins, the wine was pressed and put back into the Qvevris to mature. Syrah and Mourvedre were left on the whole bunch and vinified in Qvevris with daily immersion of the cap in the skins. After three months on the skins and stems, the wines were pressed and returned to Qvevris, where all three components matured separately for a total of one year before being blended and bottled.
