WINE MAKING PROCESS
Der Keil 2021 is produced from hand-harvested Vernatsch grapes. The grapes are de-stemmed and crushed, then undergo spontaneous fermentation in open wooden vats with indigenous yeasts for one week, with manual cap punching. The wine is aged for five months on fine lees in large, neutral oak barrels. It is bottled without clarification or filtration, adhering to biodynamic and organic farming practices.
