34% Merlot: Merlot provides fruit richness, velvety texture, and a soft flavor. It brings velvety textures and pleasant fruit notes into play.
10% Cabernet Franc: This variety complements the bouquet with spicy notes and fine freshness.
8% Petit Verdot: Petit Verdot provides additional depth, color and spice.
1% Carménère: A rare grape variety that gives the wine special nuances.

The vintages – quality through terroir & craftsmanship
Each vintage from Château Kirwan reflects the terroir: the unique soil, the microclimate, and the meticulous work in the vineyard. The winery places great emphasis on sustainable cultivation and careful processing of the vines. The grapes are harvested at optimal ripeness to ensure the best flavors.
After the harvest, vinification takes place in modern wineries using traditional techniques. Fermentation usually takes place in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks to preserve the fruit aromas. Depending on the vintage, the wines then age for several months in oak barrels, which adds additional complexity.
