Mon Rouge

• colour: purper-red shine
• on the nose: red and black fruit as raspberry, blackberry and cassis. A fine floral touch and after swirling a delicate wood impression.
• on the pallate: most of all fresh forestfruit as strawberry, cherry, raspberry. A fresh red wine.

10 days of maceration, 10 months of aging on French oak

• soil: sand-loam with Diestian sand, ironstone, flint stones and gravel. Underneath this, well-drained layers of Ledian and Paniselian sand
• Climate: cool temperate climate influenced by the North Sea
• Sustainable viticulture: defoliation, green harvesting, 5 km of indigenous hedges and sowing flower seeds against natural predators, sowing grass seeds to prevent erosion, using compost

Minimizing the ecological footprint (Certificate Carbon Footprint by Ecolife in Leuven): solar panels, use of rainwater, wine boxes of recycled cardboard, use of light wine bottles, well-insulated buildings, reuse of chopped prunings, combination of several actions in the vineyard to minimize diesel consumption.

Combines well with red meat and poultry.

Serving temperature: 14-16°C.
