The Leeuwenkuil Reserve Red exudes an intensely fragrant perfume as soon as it is poured into the glass. The fine aromas of caramelized plums complement it in a stunning way. On the palate a rich variety of red fruit aromas opens up: cherries, cranberries and plums enchant the senses and end in a subtle peppery and hearty finish. This Reserve Red is an immensely fresh wine, which pampers with beautiful depth of taste and inspiring complexity. A second glass is essential!

Treatment in the cellar

The hand-picked grape material was fermented spontaneously on the skin. In this context, spontaneous means that no commercial yeasts were added to the grape material for fermentation - only the yeasts found on the fruit and the surrounding area set the fermentation process in motion. The cap was regularly immersed during the fermentation process in order to extract maximum colour, aromas and flavour nuances into the wine. After 20 days on the skins, once the alcoholic fermentation was complete, the wine was transferred to French oak barrels with a capacity of 5000 litres per barrel, where the malolactic fermentation was completed and the wine was allowed to mature for 12 months before the various components were blended and bottled.
