WINE MAKING PROCESS
The Heinrich Pinot Noir is produced using spontaneous fermentation with native yeasts on the skins, followed by a gentle pressing. The wine then matures for seven months on its natural lees, and subsequently for six months in wooden vats and 500-litre oak barrels. Viticulture is strictly organic and biodynamic, with manual harvesting at optimal ripeness. This approach emphasizes minimal intervention to preserve the natural characteristics of the grape and terroir.
