WINE MAKING PROCESS
The Mehrlein Pinot Noir Rosé 2022 is produced by immediately pressing the 100% Pinot Noir grapes after harvest. The resulting must is then fermented slowly at a controlled temperature in stainless steel tanks. After fermentation, the wine is aged on its lees for three months before bottling. This process is designed to maintain the natural aromas and acidity of the grapes, resulting in a fresh and vibrant rosé.
