Vinification of the Dry Chardonnay from Weingut Metzger

The vineyard for the Dry Chardonnay from Weingut Metzger is located in the heart of an optimally temperate wine-growing region, offering ideal conditions for grape ripening. The vines grow in permeable, mineral-rich soils that promote strong root development and contribute to intense aroma formation. Harvesting is carried out by hand with great care and attention to detail, selecting only the healthiest grapes for processing. The grapes are gently transported in crates to preserve freshness and processed promptly in the modern winery.

Vinification begins with gentle pressing, during which the grapes are carefully pressed to extract the finest extracts and fruit components. The subsequent fermentation takes place at controlled temperatures between 14 and 16 degrees Celsius. This ensures the preservation of aromatic fruitfulness and results in a clear, elegant texture. The maturation occurs in stainless steel tanks, imparting purity and freshness to the wine. A long, controlled yeast aging allows for the development of complex nuances, while minimal contact with wood preserves the fruit aromas. After fermentation, the wine matures on fine lees to further enhance its creamy texture and finesse. The process concludes with gentle filtration and bottling to maintain the wine’s freshness and liveliness.
