WINE MAKING PROCESS
Grapes are selectively hand-harvested from Erste Lage classified plots on the Würzburger Stein. Following gentle pressing, the juice undergoes temperature-controlled fermentation using neutral yeasts in traditional large oak casks and stainless steel tanks to preserve mineral precision. The wine spends extended time aging on its fine lees before bottling in the traditional Frankonian Bocksbeutel flask.
