WINE MAKING PROCESS
The August Eser Mittelheim Spätburgunder Trocken 2016 is produced using traditional winemaking methods. Grapes are fermented in a combination of classic oak barrels and stainless steel tanks. The wine then undergoes maturation within the winery's historic cellars. The estate emphasizes natural farming practices, focusing on soil fertility and maintaining low yields to ensure fruit quality. This approach aligns with their philosophy of producing terroir-driven wines that reflect the specific characteristics of their vineyard sites.
