WINE MAKING PROCESS
The Weingut Tement Ehrenhausen Sauvignon Blanc "Korallenkalk" 2022 is produced using 100% Sauvignon Blanc grapes that are hand-harvested. The winemaking process involves natural, spontaneous fermentation in stainless steel tanks, with some fermentation also taking place in large oak vats. Following fermentation, the wine is aged for 18 months on its fine lees. This maturation occurs in a combination of large, neutral oak casks and stainless steel tanks. The winery employs organic and biodynamic farming practices, with a focus on low yields. The wine is bottled unfiltered.
