WINE MAKING PROCESS
The production of Anna-Christina Ried Bärnreiser 1ÖTW begins with the meticulous hand-harvesting of only ripe and healthy grapes. Fermentation is carried out in traditional wooden fermenters, allowing for a controlled development of the individual grape varietals. Following fermentation, each grape variety is aged separately for 18 months in a mix of new and used barriques. This separate aging allows the winemakers to fine-tune each component before the final blend is decided upon by the family. The winery is committed to certified organic viticulture, reflecting a dedication to sustainable practices and environmental stewardship.
