"Terroir" selection - from a Grand Cru called Sonnenglanz, meaning sunshine. “Sonnenglanz” produces a powerful wine with a high concentration of ripen and long-lasting aromas, accompanied by some wonderful spicy notes.

Winemaking

Traditional vinification and cultivation method. The grapes are harvested manually and then progressively pressed in a pneumatic press in order to extract the juice and aromas. The naturally present yeast on the grapes will start the alcoholic fermentation process that will change the grape juice into wine. Temperature controls are conducted throughout the fermentation process in order to guarantee persistence and balance. Two to three months after the fermentation process, the wine is racked in order to start maturing. Before bottling, each vat is filtered in order to guarantee the organic stability and conservation of the wine.
