WINE MAKING PROCESS
The Meinklang Pinot Noir 2022 is produced using biodynamic farming methods, a core tenet of the Meinklang estate. This approach emphasizes a holistic relationship with the land, fostering a biodiverse vineyard environment. The winemaking process is characterized by minimal intervention, aiming to allow the natural expression of the Pinot Noir grapes and their terroir.
