CABERNET SAUVIGNON- HARVESTED & PROCESSED

On Friday april 13 th we harvested 13.880 kilos of Cabernet Sauvignon. This season all winefarmers are hurrying to collect this grape, as unusual bad weather of the recent weeks has attacked the grapes with botrytis. We also had to seperate 2.300 liters of juice,as we found some minimum amount of botrytis in the seeds. In total 23% of juice was processed, which we hope will give us excellent quality.
In the meantime the Malbec is under full fermentation and we should see the outcome of the results in a couple of days.
