Harvest und Vinification
At 5.00. in the morning we picked the grapes, which were frozen hard like stones, with 28° KMW by hand. In 8 hours of gentle and careful pressing, only the liquid extracts were pressed out of the berries. The highly concentrated cold must settled over night. On the next morning the fresh must was pulled off from the settlings. Fermentation started slowly and after 21 days the must stopped fermenting at 198 g residual sugar. On the fine lies till middle of April. Released in September 2018.
