WINE MAKING PROCESS
The Cederberg Bukettraube 2022 is produced using reductive winemaking techniques to preserve aromatics. Grapes are crushed at 8°C, followed by 8 hours of skin contact before light pressing. The juice is settled and then fermented in stainless steel at 14°C for 4-5 days. Fermentation is stopped to achieve a semi-sweet profile. The wine is typically unwooded and intended for consumption relatively soon after bottling.
