Vinification of Breisgau from Winery Bernhard Huber The cuvée of Weißburgunder and Grauburgunder comes from carefully tended vineyards in the sun-kissed Breisgau. The region is among Germany's warmest growing areas and offers ideal conditions for Burgunder varieties. The winery’s vineyards are characterized by limestone weathering soils, imparting a distinctive mineral character to the grapes. The vines are cultivated organically – with consistent canopy management, yield reduction, and hand-harvesting. Only fully ripened and healthy grapes make their way into the cellar. After a brief maceration period, the gentle pressing of the berries takes place. Fermentation occurs in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks and used barriques to clearly express the terroir and grape varieties. Part of the wine aging takes place on fine lees with regular bâtonnage (stirring), which gives the wine depth, structure, and a fine creaminess. After several months of aging on the lees, the cuvée is assembled, lightly filtered, and carefully bottled. This results in a white wine with precise expression, clear style, and Burgundian elegance.
