Vinification of the Cabernet Sauvignon W.O. from Delheim Wines The grapes for the Cabernet Sauvignon W.O. from Delheim Wines come from select vineyards within the Wine of Origin (W.O.) wine region, known for its unique climate and soil profile. The vines grow on calcareous clay soils that impart structure and mineral character to the grapes. The harsh climate with cool nights ensures slow ripening and an intense aromatic play. Harvesting is done by hand in the early morning hours to preserve the freshness of the grapes. After careful picking, the berries are destemmed and gently pressed.

During fermentation, the skins are repeatedly flooded to extract color, aromas, and structure intensively. The aging process is primarily conducted in French barriques, which add further complexity to the wine. The maturation lasts about 12 to 18 months and includes regular bâtonnage (stirring of the yeast) to promote creaminess.
