WINE MAKING PROCESS
The Ott Am Berg Grüner Veltliner Trocken is produced using 100% Grüner Veltliner grapes. The grapes are hand-harvested and undergo natural fermentation in stainless steel tanks. Following fermentation, the wine is aged on its fine lees for several months to enhance complexity and texture. This aging occurs entirely in stainless steel to maintain the wine's inherent freshness and fruit character. The producer, Weingut Bernhard Ott, is known for its commitment to organic and biodynamic viticultural practices.
