Grauburgunder trocken - Markus Schneider

The art of winemaking: the vinification of Markus Schneider Pinot Gris dry

The first step in the production of Markus Schneider Grauburgunder trocken is the selective hand-picking of the grapes. Only the best and ripest grapes are harvested by hand to ensure the high quality of the wine. After the harvest, the grapes are destemmed and lightly crushed. The mash, consisting of grape juice, skins and seeds, ferments for a few hours. This allows the aromas and colorants to be extracted from the skins. The fermentation of the must takes place at a controlled temperature in stainless steel tanks. This ensures a clean and aroma-preserving fermentation. After fermentation, the wine rests on the fine lees for several months. The yeast decomposes slowly and gives the wine additional aromas, complexity and structure. Before bottling, the wine is filtered to stabilize it and remove lees.
