WINE MAKING PROCESS
The Yves Amberg Gewurztraminer Vin Orange NV is produced using the orange wine method, where 100% Gewurztraminer grapes are fermented on their skins. This process, a hallmark of 'Vin Méthode Nature,' involves indigenous yeast fermentation without any additions in the cellar. Following fermentation, the wine is aged for three months on its fine lees before being bottled at the estate. The domaine's vineyards in Epfig are managed using organic farming practices, with harvests done entirely by hand. This minimal intervention approach aims to capture the essence of the grape and the terroir.
