WINE MAKING PROCESS
The Mon Rouge is produced using grapes from organic farming, hand-picked from vineyards with calcareous loamy loess soil and primary rock. The vinification involves a short maceration period with a portion of whole grapes fermented spontaneously on their skins. Following fermentation, the wine is aged in neutral wooden barrels. This process is part of Weingut Jurtschitsch's philosophy of minimal intervention, aiming to showcase the unique character of the Kamptal region.
