Vinification of the Petit Noir trocken from Weingut Metzger

The grapes are grown under optimal conditions in the renowned vineyard sites of Weingut Metzger. The vines thrive in deep, gravelly clay soils that promote ideal water retention and controlled ripening of the grapes. The grapes for the Petit Noir trocken are harvested manually to select only the ripest and most aromatic fruits. Hand-harvesting ensures gentle processing and maximum yield of quality grapes. After harvest, the grapes are promptly destemmed and gently crushed in the winery to preserve their sensory qualities. The fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks at controlled temperatures to extract the fruit aromas optimally. During the maceration fermentation, the grape skins are regularly moved through a bâtonnage process, which refines the tannins and increases complexity. The maturation of the Petit Noir trocken predominantly occurs in stainless steel tanks, retaining the freshness. The interplay of gentle aging and moderate oak barrel maturation gives the wine its elegant structure, silky texture, and multi-dimensional aromatics. The bottle is aged in well-ventilated cellars to unleash the wine’s full potential. This careful production process guarantees excellent quality and an incomparable tasting experience that delights connoisseurs and enthusiasts alike, seeking a special drop.
