Fine Rosé Demi-Sec Malbec Wine

Brand: Cavalleri

Production Region: Vale dos Vinhedos – Bento Gonçalves - RS

Composition: 100% Malbec.

Vineyard: Owned, cultivated with certified seedlings, with a maximum production of 7 tons/ha. Maturation is controlled at the right point, aiming for an optimal sugar/acidity ratio. Harvesting is manual and selective.

Climatic Characteristics: The climate that influenced this harvest had a cold winter, a spring with just the right amount of rain, and a mild summer with little rain and cool nights. This provided good ripening for the grapes.

Winemaking: This wine is made from red grapes; the winemaking process for rosé is similar to that for white wines.

The grapes are pressed whole to separate the liquid, taking care to minimize contact time with the skins to avoid extracting too much tannin and color. The pressing is done very gently, resulting in delicate, high-quality musts.

After separating the juice, the selected yeast was added to initiate fermentation. The clear must is fermented slowly in stainless steel tanks for 25 to 30 days with temperature control between 12 and 14 ºC.

This very refreshing wine was bottled young after cold stabilization and filtration, preserving elegant and refined aromas of flowers and ripe fruit.
