Vinification of Pfandturm Cabernet / Merlot Dry by Dr. Koehler The wine is based on carefully selected grapes from one of the best cultivation regions, whose calcareous soils are ideal for Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. The grapes grow on well-exposed south and southwest sites, ensuring optimal ripeness and concentration. Hand harvesting is done precisely at the perfect harvest time to preserve the typical fruit aromas. Vinification begins with a strict selection of the berries to use only pure, healthy fruit. 1. After destemming, a gentle crushing of the grapes follows. 2. The must fermentation is conducted at controlled temperatures around 25 to 28 degrees Celsius. Here, the yeast gently extracts the deep red color and aromatic compounds. 3. The must is aerated through regular pumping over to soften the tannins. After fermentation, the blend ages for several months in French barriques, imparting delicate oak notes and vanilla hints to the wine. The aging took place partly in new and partly in used oak barrels to maintain a perfect balance between structure and fruitiness. The meticulous bottling process occurs after biological malolactic fermentation and a longer resting period in the cellar to ensure fine harmony.
