Vinification of Widder Sauvignon Blanc from Weingut Hörner

The balanced Widder Sauvignon Blanc from Germany is a varietal wine, vegan-vinified from the Sauvignon Blanc grape. The grapes grow under optimal conditions in the Palatinate. Here, the vines drive their roots deep into soils of clay and loess. When perfect physiological ripeness is ensured, the grapes for Widder Sauvignon Blanc are harvested exclusively by hand, without the help of coarse and barely selective machines. After harvesting, the grapes are brought to the press house immediately. There they are selected and gently crushed. Fermentation then takes place in small wooden barrels at controlled temperatures. After fermentation is complete, the vegan Widder Sauvignon Blanc is aged for several more months in French oak barrels.
