Vinification of Chardonnay Select from Fritz Wieninger Winery

The chardonnay grapes from Fritz Wieninger Winery grow in carefully selected locations in the Vienna Hills. The vines thrive in calcareous soils, which provide clear minerality and fresh fruit aromas. The mild climate allows for slow ripening, enabling the grapes to develop their complexity optimally. The harvest is carried out exclusively at optimal ripeness. The grape selection is strictly controlled to ensure only the best fruit enters the cellar.

The vinification follows both traditional and modern techniques that highlight the potential of the Chardonnay grape:

1. Gentle pressing of the grapes to avoid bitterness.
2. Cool fermentation in stainless steel tanks preserves the fresh fruit aromas.
3. A portion of the wine is aged in high-quality barriques to give the wine depth and complexity.
4. Constant monitoring of fermentation and aging processes guarantees the highest quality.

The maturation in oak barrels imparts the subtle vanilla note and a creamy texture that harmonizes perfectly with the fresh acidity. The aging period in the barrel is carefully supervised by experienced cellar masters to find the right balance between fruit and wood.
