Vinification
The grapes for the Weissburgunder (Pinot Blanc) come from a plot in the neighbouring village of Bechtheim, where they have been planted about 15 years ago. After harvesting the Weissburgunder grapes were fermenting in old as well as younger oak barrels. The juice from the older barrel started fermentation on the skins, but was pressed off shortly after. Like the other cuvee’s this wine has seen an elevage of roughly 9 months before being blended at bottling, without filtration or additives.
