Qvevri GSM

Beef, Lamb, Spicy food, Mature and hard cheese

Qvevri is made from Grenache (40%), Syrah (30%) and Mourvèdre (30%) grapes. The vines range from 16 to 32 years of age and have low yields from 4 to 8 tons of healthy, balanced grapes.

The wine was aged for a year in the clay Qvevri before being blended and bottled.

The grapes were harvested at 22˚ - 23˚ Balling; varieties were vinified separately; destemmed Grenache, whole bunch Syrah and Mourvèdre were placed in the Qvevri; the wines went through spontaneous fermentation and was gently punched down once per day. After which the wine was left on the skins for 1 to 3 months before a light pressing took place.
