2020 GRAUPERT PINOT GRIS

Without winter or summer pruning the vines have found a healthy equilibrium, producing many tiny bunches of grapes. The vines are more resilient to frost, and although the juice yield is lower, the fruit quality is predictably high from vintage to vintage. This year, the grapes were destemmed and fermented on skins for ten days before being pressed off. After a moderate time on the lees the wine is racked and bottled with 68ppm of Sulphur. 11.5% ABV

Juhfark (50%) was harvested in 2016 and spent two days macerating on skins before being pressed off into old oak barrels for fermentation. Harslevelu (50%) was harvested in 2018 and spent two days macerating on skins before being pressed off into old oak barrels for fermentation.
