WINE MAKING PROCESS
The winemaking process for this Grüner Veltliner begins with grapes selected at optimal ripeness. The grapes undergo 12 hours of skin contact before pressing. Fermentation takes place in stainless steel. Following fermentation, the wine is aged for 8 months with batonnage, with a portion aged in acacia wood casks and the remainder in stainless steel. This approach aims to preserve the wine's freshness while developing complexity and texture.
