## Wine making process

Grapes are hand-harvested from sandy loam and gravel soils in Pamhagen. Fermentation takes place spontaneously with indigenous yeasts in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks. The grape varieties are fermented separately prior to blending. The wine is aged for 4 months on fine lees sur lie in stainless steel tanks and bottled unfined and roughly pre-filtered with minimal added sulfur.
