WINE MAKING PROCESS
The Philipp Kuhn Pinot Noir Tradition 2022 is produced using hand-harvested grapes from vineyards in Laumersheim and Großkarlbach. The winemaking process involves fermentation and maceration for two to three weeks, with spontaneous fermentation used for some wines. Following this, the wine undergoes aging for approximately 12 months in used French oak barrels (228-liter capacity) or large wooden barrels. The estate follows a philosophy of creating Francophile, fully fermented, dry wines and adheres to the FAIR'N GREEN concept for sustainable viticulture.
