## Wine making process

This Spätburgunder Rosé is produced through fermentation in stainless steel tanks, a method that preserves the wine's fresh fruit characteristics. It undergoes a short maceration period to extract color and flavor. Following fermentation, the wine matures for approximately three months on its fine lees, a process that can contribute to texture and complexity. The winemaking approach at Weingut Münzberg aims to express the unique character of the estate, with a commitment to organic farming and minimal intervention.
