WINE MAKING PROCESS
The Nik Weis Bockstein Kabinett 2022 is produced using traditional methods with a focus on natural processes. Grapes are hand-harvested and chilled before gentle pressing. Fermentation occurs with indigenous yeasts in a combination of stainless steel tanks and large, old oak foudres. Following fermentation, half of the wine is aged in these oak vessels. The juice is settled overnight before fermentation to clarify. The winery holds organic certification through Fair'n Green.
