WINE MAKING PROCESS
The winemaking process at Weingut Wittmann begins with carefully pressed must, fermented by natural yeasts in wooden casks. This slow fermentation is followed by maturation in cool cellars. The estate emphasizes intensive hand craftsmanship in vineyard tending and selective hand-harvesting to ensure optimal grape quality. Their approach is rooted in organic and biodynamic farming practices, aiming to express the distinct character of the vineyard.
