WINE MAKING PROCESS
The grapes for this Mediterranean blend are harvested from selected vineyards along the Hérault River. Vinification takes place in Southern France, where the grapes undergo temperature-controlled fermentation in stainless steel tanks to preserve their fresh, fruit-forward character. To maintain its vibrant fruit profile and soft texture, the wine does not undergo any oak aging. After fermentation and initial stabilization, the wine is transported in bulk to Jakob Gerhardt's state-of-the-art bottling facility in Nierstein, Germany, where it is filtered, finished, and bottled under a screwcap closure.
