WINE MAKING PROCESS
The production of the Tschida Angerhof Auslese involves meticulous vineyard management and winemaking techniques tailored for sweet wines. Grapes are harvested when they reach optimal ripeness and are affected by noble rot. For the Cuvée Auslese, fermentation is a controlled process, lasting 20 days and followed by three years of maturation in older Slavonian oak. The winery's approach emphasizes patience and a deep understanding of the factors that contribute to the development of complex sweet wines, often involving extended fermentation periods at low temperatures.
