The various grape varieties are planted and harvested together from the same vineyard, a practice known as Gemischter Satz. These grapes are then co-fermented, meaning they ferment together. The fermentation and aging process takes place in amphorae, traditional clay vessels that allow for natural micro-oxygenation. Bio Weingut Zahel adheres to strict organic and biodynamic farming principles, with the winery being certified organic since 2017 and biodynamic since 2018, following Demeter guidelines. This approach emphasizes working in harmony with nature and minimizing intervention to preserve the wine's inherent character.Download Swirl for free
