Vinification of Breisgau from Weingut Bernhard Huber This cuvée of Pinot Blanc and Pinot Gris comes from carefully tended sites in sun-drenched Breisgau. The region is among the warmest winegrowing areas in Germany and offers ideal conditions for Burgundy varieties. The vineyards of Weingut Bernhard Huber are characterized by weathered limestone soils, which lend the grapes a distinctive minerality. The vines are cultivated in a near-natural manner – with consistent canopy management, yield reduction and selective hand harvesting. Only fully ripe and sound grapes make their way into the cellar. After a short maceration time, the berries are gently pressed. Fermentation takes place with temperature control in stainless steel tanks as well as in used barriques, in order to clearly bring out the terroir and the grape varieties. Part of the maturation takes place on the fine lees with regular stirring (bâtonnage), 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 bottled with great care. The result is a white wine with precise expression, clear stylistic profile and Burgundian elegance.
