WINE MAKING PROCESS
The winemaking process for the Weingut Leth Pinot Noir Reserve 2019 begins with a manual harvest and meticulous sorting of the grapes. Fermentation takes place at cooler temperatures, around 26°C, to preserve aromatic compounds. The wine undergoes a maceration period of approximately two weeks on the skins, which contributes to smoother tannin development. Following fermentation, the wine is aged for 15 to 22 months in selected French oak barrels from Burgundy, with the exact aging time varying by vintage. The winery adheres to certified organic and sustainable practices, emphasizing biodiversity and responsible resource management.
