WINE MAKING PROCESS
The winemaking process for this Grüner Veltliner begins with de-stemming the grapes, followed by a short maceration period. Fermentation is conducted in stainless steel tanks at chilled temperatures to preserve freshness. The wine is then aged exclusively in stainless steel, allowing the varietal character and terroir to be expressed without oak influence. The 2022 harvest was characterized by an early hot and dry period that concentrated the fruit, followed by rain. Sustainability is a key aspect of the vineyard management, with practices like planting herbs and clover in alternate rows to enhance biodiversity and soil organisms.
