The name “Redmont” is a play on words for the south-facing slopes with the typical red gravel topsoils. These low fertile soils yield wines of great structure, fine aromas and great ageing potential. This finely balanced 2018 vintage is made of 55% Zweigelt, 20% Blaufränkisch, 25% Merlot.

Harvesting lasts from the beginning until the middle of September, with the grapes harvested by hand in multiple passes. The fermentation is spontaneous and lasts 14 days, on the skins at 30–32°C, followed by malolactic conversion and ageing of 16 months in French oak barriques.
