WINE MAKING PROCESS
The grapes for the Jurtschitsch Urgestein Grüner Veltliner are sourced from various vineyards across the Kamptal Valley, primarily grown on loess soils on sloping sites with good drainage. Viticulture emphasizes organic practices, with hand-harvesting and vineyard sorting. The winemaking process involves a short period of maceration on the skins before fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks. This method is designed to retain the wine's freshness and aromatic profile.
