WINE MAKING PROCESS
The Pratsch Steinberg Reserve 2022 is produced using 100% Grüner Veltliner grapes. Key winemaking techniques include spontaneous fermentation, allowing native yeasts to drive the process, and maturation on fine lees. This 'sur lie' aging contributes to the wine's texture and complexity. The grapes mature on soils composed of gravel, calcareous sand, stone, and clay. The winery operates under organic certification and avoids animal products in its winemaking processes.
