Vinification of the Independently Crafted Gewürztraminer Off-Dry - Hiss Winery

The viticulture for the Independently Crafted Gewürztraminer Off-Dry takes place on specially selected vineyards ideally suited for the Gewürztraminer grape variety. These are located in a climatically perfect region that allows the grapes to ripen optimally. The vines grow in deep, well-drained soils that support the beloved spiciness of the grapes. Harvesting generally occurs at an optimal ripeness stage, when the grapes have an balanced ratio of sugar and acidity. Hand harvesting is carried out at full ripeness to ensure aromatic complexity. The vinification is based on cold-controlled maceration periods to extract the delicate aromas effectively. Temperature-controlled fermentation occurs in stainless steel tanks, preserving the fresh, lively aromas. The subsequent wine production and maturation take place in stainless steel to maintain the purity of the fruit flavors. This allows the wine to have enough time to harmonize all components, presenting a piece of pure liveliness. The aging process gives the Gewürztraminer its characteristic balance between fruitiness and spiciness, making it a true expression of its own terroirs.
