Vinification of Old Vines Grauburgunder by Weingut Aufricht The grapes for Old Vines Grauburgunder by Weingut Aufricht grow on deep, limestone-rich soils, which impart their characteristic minerality to the wine. The old vines, with roots penetrating deep into the terroir, guarantee a particularly low yield, resulting in an intense concentration of aromas and flavor. Careful vineyard management, including targeted pruning and sustainable cultivation, ensures optimal grape quality. The harvest is performed by hand to select only the best and optimally ripe grapes. This avoids unripe or damaged berries from entering the process. After gentle grape crushing, fermentation occurs at controlled low temperatures to preserve and enhance the fruity aroma spectrum and freshness. The wine is matured in stainless steel tanks, maintaining clarity and freshness. A small portion is also refined in used wooden barrels to add subtle spiciness and creaminess to the wine. Extended aging on fine lees makes the wine particularly harmonious and rounded.
