WINE DETAILS

Perennially the lightest of Axel Prüfer's wines, this is the artist formerly known as his Brutal. First picking of Cinsault, 1-day carbonic spontaneous fermentation prior to pressing and passing juice thru the pomace of Grenache. Bottled unfined, unfiltered, no additional SO2. 10.2%ABV

Le Temps des Cerises

Axel Prüfer was born in East Germany, but since 2003 makes wine in Languedoc, France. He quickly gained a reputation for being not only an excellent winemaker but also a friendly and likable person with a rebellious side, too.

His vineyards are surrounded by woods and are a beautiful example of biodiversity and balance. They take up 8.5 hectares on granite and quartz land, producing grapes like Carignan, Grenache, Cinsault, Merlot, and Aramon. To protect the plants from wild boars, Axel famously collects human hair from the hairdressers in the local village and spreads it around the vineyard. He ferments grape juice in stainless steel or fiberglass tanks and sometimes also old barrels that don’t influence the taste. The wines are light, yet very precise, delicious, and full of life. Small quantities make them quite sought-after.
