Of course, the well-known quality and taste of this Chilean red wine remain unchanged! This beautiful Chilean winery dates back to 1993. Since then, the Gras brothers have been constantly striving to modernize their winemaking, which sometimes includes changes to their labeling. In 1993, Hernán and Eduardo joined forces to establish a beautiful winery in the heart of the Colchagua Valley. Hernán had years of experience in the wine industry, and Eduardo was a born entrepreneur. This proved to be a golden partnership.

This valley is perfect for growing Cabernet Sauvignon. The days are warm and the nights cool, giving the grapes plenty of time to recover from the warm sunshine during the day, maintaining a wonderful freshness. Unlike what we're used to in Europe, the harvest begins in April. By then, the grapes have reached their full ripeness and are ready to be picked. Harvesting is entirely by hand to select the best fruit for the wine. After pressing and vinification, 50% of the wine is aged in French oak barrels and 50% in American oak barrels. Only new oak is used. This full-bodied red wine is aged in oak barrels for eight months, after which the wine is bottled for another two months.\n\n\n\n\u003ch2\u003e What does De Gras Cabernet Sauvignon Reserva taste like?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n \nThe result is certainly impressive!

This red wine from De Gras remains a top-notch wine!

We don't find that surprising, as this red wine truly lives up to its name; it's a gem from the south. More precisely, in the Pays d'Oc appellation. There, the old vineyards for this red wine are filled with Merlot and Grenache grapes.

The many hours of sunshine allow the grapes to ripen evenly, and the fresh breeze from the mountaintops provides the necessary cooling. This mix of weather influences plays a significant role in the top quality of the harvest. But the soil structure is also crucial, explains the winemaker. The soil consists primarily of pebbles, clay, and gravel, which allows the vines to develop deep roots. These roots allow them to easily absorb moisture and provide the clusters with the necessary nutrients.

With the warm climate during the day and the cool wind from the Andes at night, the grapes have all the time and tranquility to reach perfect ripeness. Once this perfect ripeness is achieved, the winemaker approves the manual selection and harvest of the grapes. During this harvest, the grapes are placed in small crates, where they are gently laid out before being transported to the press. This minimizes bruising on the grapes during transport. Once the wine is ready, it is then transferred to new French and American oak barrels for aging. This aging process lasts approximately eight months, after which the wine is bottle-aged for another two months.\n\n\n\n\u003ch2\u003e The aroma and taste of De Gras Merlot Reserva\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n \nThe final product is certainly impressive!

A tribute to the dedication of its winemakers, its unique terroirs, and its exquisite wines. Bardolino was one of Bolla's first international triumphs, finding its way to the US after World War I and even being transported on the prestigious transatlantic liner Andrea Doria. This refined Bolla Bardolino Classico is composed of a harmonious blend of 60 percent Corvina, 30 percent Rondinelle, and a touch of 10 percent other select grapes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e Bolla: A Veronese Wine Icon\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e In 1883, Abele Bolla, the proud owner of the \"Al Gambero\" inn, laid the foundations for the Bolla winery in Soave, a picturesque medieval town near Verona. Over the years, the Bolla family has proudly exported their Veronese wines to numerous international markets. The heart of Bolla's wine production lies in Pedemonte, where the original buildings still serve as offices, reception, and tasting rooms. The historic wing, the Cantina del Nonno, is a living testament to tradition, now enriched with 1,700 barriques, 35 barrels, and a collection of Slavonian oak barrels dating back to 1883.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e Bardolino Classico: A Masterpiece of Terroir\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e The vineyards that produce the grapes for this Bardolino Classico are picturesquely situated in the hills southeast of Lake Garda, in Italy's renowned Bardolino region. The rocky, morainic soil provides ideal conditions for this exquisite red wine. After careful hand-harvesting, the grapes undergo temperature-controlled maceration, preserving their fruity freshness and distinctive aromas. After fermentation, the wine is refined through partial malolactic fermentation and then stored in stainless steel vats to preserve its fruity aromas and vibrancy. The Bolla Bardolino reveals rich notes of black cherry and berry in its aroma. Its palate is velvety smooth, infused with fruity notes of cherry, currant, and blackberry. The finish is elegant, subtle, and has a light freshness. For optimal enjoyment, this wine is recommended served slightly chilled, around 10 degrees Celsius.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"De Monnik","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42775751753807,"sku":"4065","price":9.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0594\/9358\/0879\/files\/BollaBardolinoClassico.webp?v=1762440788"}],"url":"https:\/\/perfectewijn.be\/en\/collections\/rode-wijn-tot-10-euro.oembed","provider":"Perfecte Wijn","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
