Vinification of the Gewürztraminer white wine Burgenland

The grapes of the Gewürztraminer white wine Burgenland come from the sun-drenched vineyards of Burgenland, specifically the popular sub-region Neusiedler See in Austria. There, the vines benefit from favorable climatic conditions and mineral-rich soil, which significantly supports the ripening and quality of the Gewürztraminer grapes. The careful selection of the grapes is done by hand during the optimal harvest time in order to preserve the characteristic aromas as well as possible.

After the harvest, the grapes are gently brought to the press. Here a controlled pressing takes place, in which the fruit is carefully separated from the pulp to extract only the clear, fragrant must components. Fermentation takes place at low temperatures in stainless steel tanks, which optimally preserves the fruity and floral aromas. During vinification, great importance is attached to purity and freshness in order to preserve the unique character of the Gewürztraminer.

Maturation takes place as a single variety and in stainless steel tanks, which keeps the wine clear, fresh, and lively. The off-dry sweetness is created by deliberately stopping the fermentation to guarantee a balanced ratio between natural fruit sweetness and refreshing acidity. The combination of traditional cellar craftsmanship and modern winemaking expertise makes the Gewürztraminer white wine Burgenland an outstanding product of the Scheiblhofer winery.
