WINE MAKING PROCESS
The Edition Chremisa Grüner Veltliner is produced from grapes harvested by hand at optimal ripeness. Following harvest, the wine undergoes fermentation, with details not explicitly provided. A key technique involves aging the wine for several months on its fine lees, a process that contributes to its texture and complexity. The grapes are cultivated in soils dominated by loess, a significant factor in the wine's regional character.
