Vinification of Rudolf May's Weissburgunder The grapes for this Weissburgunder come from carefully cultivated vineyards at optimal elevation, known for cool nights and warm days. These climatic conditions promote slow ripening, allowing the aromas to fully develop and creating a perfect balance between fruit and acidity. The harvest is done early in the morning to preserve the freshness of the berries. Afterwards, the grapes are gently pressed to obtain only the clear must for fermentation. The fermentation takes place partly in stainless steel tanks at controlled temperatures to preserve fruity and fresh aromas. Part of the wine matures in traditional large wooden barrels, which impart subtle woody notes and a velvety texture. The combination of stainless steel tanks and barrel aging gives Rudolf May's Weissburgunder a complex multi-layered character. After several months on fine lees, the wine gains additional fullness and aroma development before being carefully filtered and bottled.
