WINE MAKING PROCESS
The Albert Boxler Gewurztraminer Reserve is produced using whole-cluster pressing followed by static settling. Fermentation occurs naturally with indigenous yeasts in stainless steel tanks and old foudres, lasting from 2 to 6 months without thermoregulation. The wine is then aged for about 11 months on its lees, without new wood or stirring. Harvests are done by hand. The domaine employs clean and careful farming practices, often adhering to organic principles.
