WINE MAKING PROCESS
The grapes for this Grüner Veltliner are hand-harvested and then whole clusters are pressed using a basket press. The wine undergoes eight hours of skin contact before fermentation. Fermentation is initiated by wild yeasts. Following fermentation, the wine is aged for an extended period on its lees in large Stockinger oak fouders. Weingut Bernhard Ott farms its vineyards biodynamically, focusing on sustainable practices and biodiversity.
