WINE MAKING PROCESS
This orange wine is produced in Austria by Ferdinand Mayr Weine Gmbh. The winemaking process involves fermenting a blend of 75% Grüner Veltliner, 15% Gewürztraminer, and 10% Riesling with their skins. This brief skin contact is a key technique for orange wines, allowing for the extraction of color, tannins, and aromatic compounds, differentiating it from traditional white winemaking. The wine is not aged in oak, which helps to preserve its fresh, aromatic character. The resulting wine is classified as an 'Orange Wine' and has an alcohol by volume of 12.5%.
