Brilliant ruby red in the glass, the Vondeling Petit Rouge releases aromas of dynamically vibrant fruit such as smooth, plump cherries, subtle raspberry and hints of soft, black pepper. On the palate these exciting aromas are found again, which harmonise wonderfully with refined tannins and end in a soft and smooth finish. A wonderfully dynamic wine.

Treatment in the cellar

The grapes were destemmed but not crushed and fermented at cool temperatures to obtain a wide range of tangy fruit and spice without heavy tannins in the wine. After fermentation, the wine was transferred to 300 l French oak barrels. The malolactic fermentation took place in the barrel. The wine spent a total of 13 months in French oak before being blended and bottled for final consumption.
