Vinification of the Leiten Gewürztraminer from Nals Margreid The basis for the powerful Leiten Gewürztraminer from Trentino-Alto Adige are grapes from the Gewürztraminer grape variety. In Trentino-Alto Adige, the vines that produce the grapes for this wine grow on soils of sedimentary and weathered rock. When perfect physiological ripeness is ensured, the grapes for the Leiten Gewürztraminer are harvested exclusively by hand without the help of coarse and less selective grape harvesters. After harvesting, the grapes are transported to the press house as quickly as possible. Here they are sorted and carefully crushed. This is followed by fermentation in stainless steel tanks at controlled temperatures. Once fermentation is complete, the Leiten Gewürztraminer can continue to harmonize on the fine lees for a few months.
