The well-balanced Grauburgunder Sausenheimer Klostergarten from Germany is a varietal wine, vinified from the Grauburgunder grape variety. The grapes grow under optimal conditions in the Palatinate. Here the vines drive their roots deep into soils of clay and sand. After being harvested by hand, the grapes are brought to the winery as quickly as possible. There they are selected and gently crushed. This is followed by fermentation in large wooden casks at controlled temperatures. Vinification is followed by maturation for 10 months in oak barrels.
