WINE MAKING PROCESS
Grapes for the Domäne Wachau Grüner Veltliner Federspiel Terrassen 2023 are hand-harvested from terraced vineyards. The fruit undergoes careful selection before being processed in a pneumatic tank press. The must is fermented under controlled temperatures, with a potential small proportion of skin-fermented grapes used for added complexity. Following fermentation, the wine is aged on its fine lees in stainless steel tanks. The producer employs sustainable and increasingly organic farming practices, avoiding insecticides and herbicides.
