WINE MAKING PROCESS
The production of Gustave Lorentz Gewurztraminer Réserve begins with the pressing of whole grapes. The resulting juice is clarified through a 12-to-24-hour settling period. Fermentation occurs in stainless steel tanks, employing both natural and cultured yeasts to capture the grape's inherent aromatics. Following fermentation, the wine undergoes two rackings and is aged for five months in tanks before bottling. This method is designed to preserve the wine's freshness and aromatic complexity.
