Vinification of the Chardonnay Grande Reserve of Winzerhof Stahl

This white wine clearly focuses on one grape variety, and that is Chardonnay. Only the best grape material was harvested for this wonderfully balanced varietal wine from Winzerhof Stahl. The development of the grapes for this wine from Chardonnay is influenced to a very high degree by the climate of the growing region.

After the hand harvest, the grapes reach the winery by the fastest route. Here they are selected and carefully crushed. Fermentation follows in large wood at controlled temperatures. Fermentation is followed by aging for several months in oak barrels.
