Vinification of the Dry Weißburgunder from Weingut Metzger The grapes are grown in the best vineyards around Weingut Metzger, whose calcareous clay soils provide optimal conditions for Weißburgunder. The goal is to preserve the natural freshness and liveliness of the grapes. Already during harvest in late September, the grapes are carefully hand-picked to fully bring out their quality features. The harvest occurs in multiple passes to pick the grapes at optimal ripeness and to preserve aromatic diversity. After harvest, the grapes are gently destemmed and lightly pressed. The vinification takes place in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks to optimally maintain freshness, acidity structure, and the delicate fruit bouquet. Fermentation lasts about two weeks, followed by aging on the fine lees. During this time, the wine is regularly stirred on the lees to promote creaminess and increase complexity. The wine then matures for several more months in bottle to fully develop its finesse and elegance. The result is a lively, varietally pure product that expresses its characteristic fruit aromas optimally and impresses with a fine mineral note.
