WINE MAKING PROCESS
The production of this Weisser Burgunder involves careful vineyard management, including yield reduction, to enhance grape intensity. Viticulture practices are focused on environmental friendliness. Following harvest, the grapes undergo fermentation primarily in stainless steel tanks to preserve freshness. The wine is then matured in stainless steel, maintaining its lively character. The winery's overarching philosophy is one of minimal intervention, aiming to let the natural qualities of the grape and vineyard express themselves.
