Information about "Leeuwenkuil Reserve Red 2023"
The Leeuwenkuil Reserve Red presents an enchanting aromatic profile upon pouring, led by the sophisticated scent of caramelized plums. The palate is a vibrant medley of cherries, cranberries, and plums, blending seamlessly and leading to a nuanced peppery finish. This wine captivates with its freshness, rich flavor intensity, and impressive complexity, making a second glass irresistible!
Treatment in the cellar
The hand-picked grapes were fermented spontaneously on the skins. In this context, spontaneous means that no commercial yeasts were added to the grapes for fermentation – only the yeasts present on the fruit and in the environment initiated the fermentation process. The cap of pomace was regularly submerged during the fermentation process to extract maximum colour, aromas and flavour nuances into the wine. After 20 days on the skins, once alcoholic fermentation was complete, the wine was transferred to French oak barrels with a capacity of 5,000 litres per barrel, where malolactic fermentation was completed and the wine was allowed to mature for 12 months before the various components were blended and bottled.
