Winemaking

Harvest was on 10.9.2021. The grapes were harvested by hand and selected immediately during the harvest. Especially with the St. Laurent variety, selective harvesting is very important. Only the best grapes were processed into our St. Laurent Apfelgrund. The grapes of the St. Laurent variety were crushed and filled into a stainless steel mash tank. After a cold maceration of 24 hours, the yeast was added and fermentation started. The mash was submerged 6-8 times a day. This makes the wine elegant, very dark and intense in flavour. The fermentation lasted 8 days. After fermentation, the wine remained on the mash for another 8 days. Afterwards, the mash was pressed and the biological acid degradation was initiated. Here, lactic acid bacteria convert the harsh malic acid into milder lactic acid and reduce the overall acidity. This makes the wine much milder and smoother. Immediately one day after pressing, the wine was filled into 70 % new and 30 % used barriques. After 6 weeks the malolactic fermentation was finished and the wine was drawn off and aerated. After filtration, the barriques were filled again. After ageing in the barrique, the St. Laurent Apfelgrund was bottled.
