Cherry wine

This cherry wine inspires with an extraordinary, full-bodied and at the same time complex taste experience. The wine can be classified between dry and semi-dry, whereby the fruitiness of the special cherry variety comes into its own. In any case, our cherry wine is a strong wine and therefore goes perfectly with game, pate, hard cheese, nuts or chocolate. Or as a particularly elegant companion for winter evenings for two. For this large cherry wine, we only use the old, aromatic sour cherry variety Heimanns Rubin Weichsel. The best vintage cherries from a friend from the Palatinate fruit grower ripen until late summer so that the cherries turn dark red and develop their full potential. The fruit grower checks the degree of ripeness of the fruit every day in summer and as soon as the right moment for wine production has come, the cherries are carefully picked. The cherries are then brought from the orchard to our private winery in a hurry. Now it's time to separate the stems from the cherries neatly. This is how we ensure that only the fully ripe fruits are fermented. During fermentation, we only use traditional and artisanal manufacturing processes. First, the freshly picked fruits are pressed on by hand so that the cherry peel bursts and the juice can escape during fermentation. We deliberately do not use any machines because we can process the cherries more gently in the manual processing. A few hours after the harvest, the sour cherries are ready for fermentation. The sour cherries are fermented for 4-5 days after traditional maceration. During this time, the berry skins are pushed down several times a day so that their ingredients pass into the later wine. After the must fermentation, the wine is fermented further and left to mature in small tanks until it finally finds its way into the bottle and home.
