How Is White Wine Made?

White wine production differs from red wine in several important ways. Both light and dark-skinned grapes can be used, as the pulp contains very few colour pigments. Because the grapes are pressed early, almost no colour or tannins are extracted from the skins. This is followed by temperature-controlled fermentation, usually in stainless steel tanks at cooler temperatures to preserve fresh and fruity aromas.

Depending on the preferred style, our winemakers use different ageing methods and yeasts, giving each white wine its own distinctive character. Read more about stainless-steel ageing

Character and Aromatic Diversity of White Wine

White wines are known for their fresh, fruity and often mineral-driven style. Depending on the grape variety and ageing method, aromas range from citrus fruits and stone fruits to exotic fruit and floral notes. Textures vary from light and lively to full-bodied and creamy. Many white wines also feature a pronounced acidity that adds freshness and ageing potential.

Our range includes everything from delicate, terroir-driven Rieslings to structured, elegant Burgundy varieties. Use our extensive filter options in the online shop to easily find your perfect wine.

Ageing of White Wine

White wine can be aged in a variety of ways. Classic ageing in stainless steel highlights freshness and fruit. Some wines, however, mature in wooden casks or barriques, gaining structure, complexity and depth. Spontaneous fermentation with wild yeasts or ageing on the fine lees can add additional texture and creaminess.

Our range includes both styles – from stainless-steel-fresh Verdejo or Pinot Gris to barrel-aged Chardonnays with richness and finesse.

White Wine with Residual Sweetness

White wines with residual sweetness feature a noticeable yet well-balanced sugar content that gives charm, fruitiness and a rounded mouthfeel. Sweetness is achieved when fermentation is stopped early, for example by cooling or adding sulphur. High-quality sweet wines are often made from late-harvested or botrytised grapes, where noble rot (Botrytis cinerea) concentrates flavour and sugar content.

Regions such as the Mosel in Germany are world-famous for sweet wines offering exceptional quality at great value. This style is also well known in Alsace, Sauternes (Bordeaux) and Tokaji in Hungary. In Switzerland, small quantities of charming sweet wines are produced, for example from the Valais speciality Petite Arvine. These wines pair beautifully with desserts, cheese boards or can be enjoyed on their own for special occasions.
