TheAvondale La Luna Red Blend is a red wine cuvée in the classic Bordeaux style. Mineral-intensive fruit nuances, gentle tannins and a fresh acidity create a wonderfully full-bodied enjoyment experience here. Deep purple in color in the glass, classic aromas of ripe berry fruit with a hint of fragrant tobacco escape - a great wine of sheer flawless elegance!

The grapes of these noble varieties were harvested by hand in the cool morning hours, destemmed, gently crushed and left to rest in stainless steel tanks for two to three days. Fermentation on the skins took place at warmer temperatures between 30 and 32 C° and lasted for seven to ten days. The high quality of the grapes allowed a swelling period of about 30 days after the completion of fermentation. The malolactic fermentation took place in first, second and third French oak barrels. The wines were then aged in barriques for 12 to 16 months. Before the wines were blended and bottled, a light filtration took place.
