WINE MAKING PROCESS
Maison Lissner's Lissner G is produced using natural winemaking techniques. Grapes are hand-harvested when ripe. Fermentation is carried out with indigenous yeasts, utilizing a 'pied de cuve' and incorporating 30% whole bunches. The wine ferments with skins and grape residues for 14 days in vats, with a maximum temperature of 29°C. No chaptalisation is performed. Following fermentation, the wine is aged in stainless steel vats. The total sulfite level is kept very low at 30 mg/l.
