WINE MAKING PROCESS
The grapes are harvested at optimal ripeness and gently pressed. Fermentation takes place in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks to preserve the fresh, primary fruit aromas and characteristic white pepper spice of the Grüner Veltliner grape. The wine is kept on its fine lees for a short period to add subtle texture and complexity before being filtered and bottled young to maintain its vibrant, crisp profile.
