WINE MAKING PROCESS
The Kies Grüner Veltliner is produced from 100% Grüner Veltliner grapes. The winery's practice of naming wines after soil types, such as 'Kies' for gravel, signifies a focus on terroir. Winemaking typically involves fermentation in stainless steel tanks to preserve the wine's freshness and primary fruit characteristics. Aging is also conducted in stainless steel, further emphasizing a clean and vibrant profile. The grapes are harvested based on optimal ripeness and acidity levels to achieve the desired balance for the final wine.
