WINE MAKING PROCESS
The production of Lenz Moser Trockenbeerenauslese 2018 involves a late harvest where grapes are meticulously selected berry by berry, focusing on those affected by noble rot (Botrytis cinerea). This process concentrates the natural sugars and flavors of the grapes. Fermentation is carefully controlled to halt at a high level of residual sugar, preserving the wine's sweetness. The wine is then aged, often in stainless steel or neutral oak, to allow for the development of complexity while maintaining its fruit-forward character. Trockenbeerenauslese wines are known for their significant aging potential.
