WINE MAKING PROCESS
The Peter & Paul Grüner Veltliner is produced using a blend of winemaking techniques. Eighty percent of the wine is fermented in stainless steel tanks with selected yeasts in a reductive style to maintain freshness. The remaining twenty percent undergoes spontaneous fermentation in oak casks without the addition of sulfur dioxide, followed by aging on lees, which imparts a more oxidative character and complexity. The vineyards are managed using ecologically sound practices, and the winery holds Demeter certification for biodynamic farming. This dual approach to fermentation and aging contributes to the wine's layered profile.
