WINE MAKING PROCESS
The Geyerhof Ried Hoher Rain Grüner Veltliner is produced using a low-intervention approach. Grapes are manually harvested from old vines, with spontaneous fermentation initiated by native yeasts in stainless steel tanks. This method aims to preserve the wine's inherent character and the expression of its terroir. The winemaking philosophy emphasizes minimal manipulation throughout the process to allow the natural qualities of the Grüner Veltliner and the vineyard to shine through.
