WINE MAKING PROCESS
The Leva Cabernet Shiraz Rosé is produced using hand-harvested grapes. The vinification process involves a short maceration period with the skins, followed by fermentation in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks. This technique is similar to red wine production but with a significantly reduced skin contact time to achieve the rosé style. The wine is bottled for immediate release, emphasizing its fresh character.
