WINE MAKING PROCESS
The Leva Cabernet Shiraz Rosé is produced using a manual harvest to select the best fruit. The grapes are then fermented in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks, a technique designed to maintain freshness and primary fruit aromas. This method is common for rosé production, allowing for a controlled fermentation environment. The wine is vegan-friendly, with no animal products used in its clarification. The producer adheres to 'IMO Fair for Life' standards, which encompass fair trade principles and environmental stewardship.
