Vinification of the Significa Stückfass Chardonnay from the Dönnhoff Winery

The cultivation of the grapes takes place in the best sites of the Dönnhoff Winery. The vineyards benefit from an optimal microclimate, providing ideal conditions for the ripening of the Chardonnay and Weissburgunder grapes. These are carefully hand-harvested to ensure that only the best fruits are brought into the cellar. The vinification process is traditional and gentle. After pressing, fermentation occurs in small oak barrels, imparting complex structure and fine wood aromas to the wine. The wine then matures for several months in the same barrels to enhance its elegance and the development of aromas. During this time, regular bâtonnage takes place, where the lees are stirred to optimize fullness and creaminess. This leads to a harmonious interplay between fruit and wood.
