Vinification of the Josanna Grande Cuvée from Salzl Seewinkelhof

The journey of the Josanna Grande Cuvée from Salzl Seewinkelhof begins in the sun-drenched vineyards of the Seewinkel region. Here, carefully selected grape varieties thrive on calcareous and loamy soils that create ideal conditions for complex aromas. The vines grow in a microclimatically favored environment characterized by cool nights and warm days. These climatic conditions promote slow ripening and the development of intense terroir notes.

The harvest is done by hand in multiple passes to ensure that only fully ripe grapes are processed. 1. Selection: Removal of damaged or insufficiently developed berries. 2. Handpicking: Gentle transport of the grapes in small boxes. 3. Sorting: Careful sorting before processing.

After arrival at the winery, a gentle destemming takes place to carefully separate the berries from the stems. The subsequent maceration fermentation occurs in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks at between 25 and 28 degrees Celsius to optimally extract the aromas. During this process, the mash is regularly punched down to harmoniously develop color and tannin structure.

The maturation takes place in excellently selected barriques, some of which are new and others partially used. The 12-month aging gives the wine its velvety texture as well as tempting vanilla and roasted aromas. During the maturation phase, the wine is regularly checked for flavor and development to ensure optimal balance. The final bottle aging rounds off the profile and ensures a fine integration of all components.
