mehrere Informationen

Dark in colour with a ruby edge in the glass, Val du Charron Black Countess is an elegant and incredibly complex wine with seductive aromas of blackcurrant, blueberry, blackberry, cherry, dried herbs, vanilla and cinnamon. On the palate, delicious nuances of sweet cranberry, cherry and chocolate unfold, creating a lush fullness and making for an absolutely delicious wine. This red wine is dominated by red fruit nuances, which are fully expressed by the well-integrated notes of oak wood. The Black Countess wine is a homage to the first coloured person of the British Empire. The daughter of a freed slave, Martha married Harry Grey, who was appointed the first Earl of Stamford. Despised by the British aristocracy, Martha returned to South Africa, where she used all her inheritance to build farm schools for children of all colours and sexes. A philanthropist far ahead of her time! This text has been automatically translated.

Treatment in the cellar

The individual grape varieties of this cuvée have all been fermented separately using selected yeast cultures in stainless steel tanks to highlight and preserve the unmistakable and unique characteristics of each variety. Once fermentation was complete, the wines were transferred to flex tanks, where they were woodened using oak staves - all made from the highest quality French and American oak. After the malolactic fermentation was completed, the wines matured for 12 months in French oak barrels. Once the maturation was completed, the components of the cuvée were blended with great care and bottled.
