Vinification
"Velue" is the old name for Velm - the name of the vilage. and the willow trees growing there along the creek. The Velue wines are natural, spontaneously fermented and aged in steel tanks and offer immediate enjoyment. The Velue-Veltliner comes from the first harvest crossing of our vineyards around the village Velm-Götzendorf. The grapes are harvested by hand and selected. After a short maceration period, it is spontaneously fermented in a steel tank at 21-24 ° C. Short maceration, slow gentle pressing over 5 hours, spontaneously fermented & spontaneous malolactic; 3 months full yeast matured with occasional battonage.
