Vinification of the Grauburgunder from Dittelsheim VDP.Ortswein Weingut Stefan Winter

The grapes for the Grauburgunder Dittelsheim VDP.Ortswein Weingut Stefan Winter come from selected Dittelsheim parcels with lime- and clay-rich soils. These sites offer ideal conditions for the grape variety, as they perfectly unite minerality, ripeness and freshness. Thanks to the cool climate in the hilly landscape of Rheinhessen, the grapes ripen slowly and evenly – a key to the fine aromatics and clear structure of the wine. Hand harvesting guarantees the highest grape quality and allows careful selection directly in the vineyard.

After gentle pressing, spontaneous fermentation with natural yeasts takes place. Aging occurs over 12 months “sur lie” in a large 900-liter tonneau. This lees aging provides a creamy texture and depth, while the wood lends the wine subtle spice and complexity. Through the extended contact with fine lees, a natural balance between richness and freshness develops. Afterwards, the wine rests before being bottled in an unhurried yet precise manner – without filtering out its personality, but with maximum clarity.

The Grauburgunder Dittelsheim VDP.Ortswein Weingut Stefan Winter is an expression of the highest craftsmanship. Stefan Winter combines tradition with modern precision to create wines that reflect the terroir in an unadulterated way. The result is a Grauburgunder that displays character, depth and harmony in perfect balance – elegant, authentic and unmistakably Rheinhessen.
