WINE MAKING PROCESS
The Leth Grüner Veltliner Familien Reserve is produced using grapes from four distinct vineyard sites within the Wagram region. Following hand-harvesting, the grapes undergo a short period of skin contact (6-8 hours) before gentle pressing. Fermentation is spontaneous and temperature-controlled in stainless steel tanks, with each vineyard site fermented separately. After fermentation, the wines are blended and aged for approximately three months on their lees to enhance concentration and complexity.
