WINE MAKING PROCESS
The grapes for Der Ott are sourced from younger vines in the Feuersbrunn terroirs and younger plantings in top sites like Spiegel, Rosenberg, and Stein, grown in loess, calcareous, and red gravel soils. The vineyard management follows biodynamic principles, with grapes hand-harvested at peak ripeness. Vinification involves natural fermentation in stainless steel tanks, followed by aging on fine lees. The wine is aged in stainless steel tanks, preserving its purity and fruit characteristics.
