Vin Doux Naturel
Tasting note
The exceptional conditions of the hot year of 2022 produced an exceptional Merlot. This quality is also evident in our Vin Doux Naturel. It boasts wonderfully deep, dark aromas of prunes, dark chocolate, ripe blackberries and cedar. The natural sweetness is smooth yet never cloying, and the finish is long.

Description
Sprüngli took on an intern from Luxembourg. We also had an intern from Madeira. In 2022, Mariana de Jesus Andrade shared her knowledge of port and Madeira with us. Thanks to her training and expertise, the quality and character of our Vin Doux Naturel have reached new heights.
Grape Variety
100% Merlot. To produce the annual barrel of Vin Doux Naturel, around 350 kg of grapes are needed from the Küng vineyard.
Vineyard
Küng. The name Küng dates back to the 14th century and means 'royal descendant'. The vineyard is located in the centre of the village and is surrounded by old stone walls.
Soil
The Küng runs through the middle of the gravel cone on which the entire village of Malans is built. The Küng's soil contains a lot of humus, slate and limestone. Thanks to its microclimate, the Küng is also often much better protected from frost.
Viticulture
We cultivate our vines using natural, holistic methods. In accordance with the principles of regenerative agriculture, we use various seeds and compost teas, and we are certified organic by Bio-Suisse and Knospe.
Maturation
The Merlot grapes are harvested when they reach just over 100 degrees Oechsle. About a third of the way through the fermentation process, we stop it by adding high-proof brandy. The sweet Vin Doux Naturel then rests for a few years in an occupied Merlot barrel.
