WINE MAKING PROCESS
The Geyerhof Stockwerk Grüner Veltliner Bio 2023 is produced using grapes from the estate's younger vines, which are hand-harvested. The winemaking process emphasizes low intervention. Fermentation occurs in stainless steel tanks, followed by six months of aging on full yeast lees, also in stainless steel. This technique aims to enhance texture and complexity. The estate adheres to certified organic and biodynamic viticulture practices, reflecting a commitment to holistic farming and environmental preservation. The winemaking philosophy avoids the use of artificial enzymes, fining agents, and cultured yeasts.
