WINE MAKING PROCESS
The Englar Cuvée Blanc de Castel begins with manual harvesting of the grapes in September. Fermentation is carried out in open oak barrels, followed by a maturation period of 4-5 months in stainless steel tanks. The vineyards are managed using the Guyot training system on south-facing slopes at an altitude of 450-550 meters. The soil composition consists of Kalkschotter and Porphyr weathering soils. The winery's approach emphasizes careful grape selection, nature-oriented cultivation, gentle processing, and controlled yields to produce wines that reflect their varietal and origin.
