Vinification of the Kalterersee Classico Superiore DOC by Erste+Neue

The vinification of the Kalterersee Classico Superiore DOC begins with the careful selection of grapes. These grow in the sun-drenched vineyards around Lake Kaltern. The west-facing locations offer ideal conditions for the Vernatsch grape variety used for this wine. On warm days, the grapes ripen and develop their full aroma. During the harvest, which is done by hand, only the best grapes are selected. This ensures the highest quality.

After harvest, the grapes are brought to the winery, where they are gently pressed. The fermentation takes place in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks. This preserves the freshness and the fruity aromas that are so characteristic of Kalterersee. After fermentation, the wine matures for several months in large wooden barrels. This aging imparts finesse and a multi-layered aromatic profile to the Kalterersee Classico Superiore. A light clarification occurs before the wine is bottled.
