WINE MAKING PROCESS
This Gewurztraminer is crafted using traditional and careful vinification methods, meticulously designed to preserve the grape's inherent aromatic expression. The process includes low-temperature fermentation, which helps to retain the delicate and volatile aromatic compounds of the Gewurztraminer grape. Following fermentation, the wine undergoes aging on fine lees. This technique involves allowing the wine to remain in contact with the spent yeast cells, which can contribute to texture, complexity, and stability, while still maintaining the wine's vibrant fruit and floral characteristics.
