WINE MAKING PROCESS
The Weissburgunder Vom Kalkstein is crafted using a minimal intervention approach. Grapes are hand-harvested and undergo spontaneous fermentation, primarily in wooden barrels, utilizing native yeasts. The wine is then aged for an extended period on its full lees (sur lie), a process that enhances texture, depth, and stability. This method, combined with the estate's commitment to biodynamic and organic farming, aims to produce an unfiltered and authentic expression of the limestone terroir.
