WINE MAKING PROCESS
The Wieninger Nussberg Grüner Veltliner undergoes a winemaking process that begins with a brief skin maceration of a few hours before pressing, aimed at enhancing complexity. Fermentation is carried out in stainless steel tanks using spontaneous yeast to maintain fruitiness and aromas. A portion may be fermented in large wooden vessels for added structure. Following fermentation, the wine is aged on its fine lees until its bottling in February 2021. The harvest was conducted by hand in October.
