Vinification of Martin Waßmer Schlatter Spätburgunder SW

In Baden, the vines that produce the grapes for this wine grow on limestone and loess soils. At optimal ripeness, the grapes for the Schlatter Spätburgunder SW are harvested exclusively by hand, without the use of coarse and less selective mechanical harvesters. After harvesting, the grapes are immediately taken to the press house, where they are sorted and gently crushed. Fermentation then takes place in small wooden barrels at controlled temperatures. Vinification is followed by maturation for several months in French barriques.
