Information about "Ladybird Vineyards Ladybird Red (aus organischem Anbau) 2020"
The Ladybird Red stands out with its profound dark hue, revealing an enticing bouquet of wild berry aromas, fragrant cigar boxes, and velvety dark chocolate. This medium to full-bodied wine is beautifully approachable, showcasing a wealth of succulent fruit nuances wrapped in soft, silky tannins. With notable complexity and depth, it finishes dry, long, and smooth—a remarkable choice with impressive value. The blend features 40% Cabernet Sauvignon, 34% Merlot, 16% Cabernet Franc, and 10% Petit Verdot.
Produced from organically grown grapes in low-yield vineyards, this selection benefits from the eco-friendly assistance of around 3,000 ladybugs, thriving in Stellenbosch's pioneering organic vineyard.
The grapes for the Ladybird Red are hand-selected and fully de-stemmed. Fermentation occurs spontaneously, utilizing only wild yeast in open 4.5-ton tanks, with no added cultivated yeast. After fermentation, the wine is aged for 12-14 months in small French oak barrels.
