WINE MAKING PROCESS
The Scheuermann Weissburgunder Chardonnay Trocken is crafted using a low-interventionist approach. Grapes are hand-harvested and undergo spontaneous fermentation with natural yeasts in old oak barrels. Following fermentation, the wine is aged for 9-10 months on its lees in a mix of barriques and larger oak casks. The wine is then bottled without filtration, preserving its natural character and texture. This process is guided by the winery's biodynamic (Demeter certified) farming practices, aiming to create a puristic wine that reflects its terroir.
