WINE MAKING PROCESS
The Gerhard Deim Fifty Fifty Sauvignon Blanc Muskateller undergoes a winemaking process that includes short skin maceration. Following this, the wine is matured in steel tanks to preserve its freshness. It is then bottled approximately six months after harvest. The grapes are harvested a few days before reaching full ripeness, a technique employed to enhance the wine's fruity characteristics and manage alcohol levels.
