Hand-picked grapes are carefully transported in small boxes to a cold room. Here, they are hand-sorted and crushed in small open-top fermenters. The crushed grapes are cooled and cold-soaked for 3 days to achieve the desired colour, after which they are pressed. The must then naturally warms up, kicking off spontaneous alcoholic fermentation, with the temperature controlled between 18-22°C. After 14 days, the wine is transferred to Bulgarian barrels for malolactic fermentation and aged on fine lees for 3 months.

Although the family has grown grapes here for several centuries, Giovanni Allegrini was the first to start bottling wines from the family’s vineyards. When he died in 1983, he passed his passion and commitment to quality winemaking onto his three children, Walter, Marilisa and Franco. Together, they worked to build on Giovanni’s quality ethos until Walter’s death in 2003. Franco looked after the vineyards and winemaking, while Marilisa continued to manage sales and marketing. From the 2007 vintage, Franco sacrificed the Valpolicella Classico classification by bottling the Allegrini wines under Stelvin to eliminate cork taint and reduce oxidation problems. Franco sadly passed away in 2022. He was an inspiring figure who led the way in Valpolicella’s quest for quality, forging a path many others have followed.

An established wine region for some 350 years, sensible generations never thought to plant a vine here until a happy band of idealists recently craned their necks up at this hillside and, dizzy with hope, decided to give it a go.

This work entails clearing invasive alien trees which can overwhelm the Fynbos and contribute to the threat of forest fires. Fynbos covered mountains like those at Wildeberg are thought to be responsible for delivering one glass of water in five in South Africa, due to the plants allowing up to 80% of rainwater to run off into rivers and reservoirs rather than being absorbed into the soil.\u003cbr\u003eWater is precious in South Africa, and waste water from the winery passes through a natural wetland with indigenous reeds and plants before being pumped into our irrigation dam.

Thanks to their experience \u0026amp; expertise, they have understood that it is by respecting the raw material, by listening to it, that they will guide the genesis of the wine as naturally \u0026amp; as faithfully as possible. Manipulation is limited \u0026amp; each wine is a reflection of its terroir.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"preFade fadeIn\"\u003eThese vintages that we love so much are born here, \u0026amp; here too their personality is slowly revealed. The style of Engel wines is the reflection of these men, it is a clever mix of passion, work \u0026amp; experience. The production is an art, but patience, rigour \u0026amp; hard work make it possible to understand the element of chance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"preFade fadeIn\"\u003eProduction\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"preFade fadeIn\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSustainable and Organic vineyard practices.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"preFade fadeIn\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe grapes are taken from 4 plots in Rorschwihr on dark chalky soils on heavy loess rock.
