Vinification of the Metzger Rot trocken by Metzger The grapes for the Metzger Rot trocken grow in carefully selected vineyards that are ideally suited for cultivating robust and aromatic varietals. The terroir features clay soils that ensure optimal water retention and provide roots with access to nutrient-rich earth. The vineyards are tended by hand, with particular attention paid to selective harvesting. Harvesting occurs only when the grapes are perfectly ripe, guaranteeing a balanced sugar-to-acid ratio, which is crucial for the wine's future quality. After handpicking, the grapes are gently destemmed and delicately crushed to maximize aromatic juice yield. Fermentation takes place at controlled temperatures in stainless steel tanks to preserve freshness and vibrant fruit aromas. During the maceration fermentation, regular raking is performed to optimize the extraction of color and tannins. The subsequent aging takes place in barriques, which impart additional complexity and a harmonious note of vanilla and wood. The maturation period varies by vintage, typically between 12 and 18 months. During this time, the wine develops its full potential and gains elegance. Before bottling, a careful filtration ensures the purity and clarity of the wine.
