All about Wine

Wurttemberg wines are subject to the highest standards. This is why the wine-growers of Wurttemberg, are committed to tending vines with loving, painstaking care and expert knowledge — from pruning in winter,to harvesting in autumn. On average, 8oo to 2,000 working hours are spent per hectare (ca. 2.5 acres), of which 400 alone are devoted to the harvest. Attention to detail during the harvest is decisive for the ultimate quality of the wines.

Following the harvest, the cellar master’s work begins. The cooperatives are equipped with modern facilities to strictly separate the crop according to vineyard site, grape variety and ripeness level as the grapes are received. After a gentle pressing, the juice is carefully vinified. The young wines are aged in traditional oak casks or in shiny stainless steel tanks in the cellars until they are ready to be bottled and fulfill their original purpose:
to be enjoyed by wine enthusiasts, connoisseurs and bon vivants.

And this is your cue, because the manner in which you store a wine is crucial to maintaining its quality. Wine should always be stored in the darkest possible place, as bright light detracts from its fruitiness.
The cardinal rule: the cooler the wine is stored (not more than 12°C, or 54°F), the slower it will mature, and the longer it will maintain its quality.
We wish you many a wonderful moment with Wurttemberg wines, whether it’s with a good meal or a good conversation.

Cheers!
