WINE MAKING PROCESS
The Franz Haas Lepus Pinot Bianco 2020 is produced using controlled temperature fermentation, primarily in stainless steel tanks, with a portion also fermented in barriques. Following fermentation, the wine undergoes lees aging for approximately five months to enhance complexity and texture. The viticultural approach is described as 'conventional' and 'close to nature,' with vines cultivated at high altitudes on diverse soil types.
