Straw wine
This is the name for wines with special attributes which are produced from grapes dried over a period of at least three months after harvest on straw or reed beds, or else have been suspended in well aerated open spaces. By this a part of the water content evaporates thus concentrating the content of extractive material. To produce such wine requires well ripened and undamaged grapes. White grapes are generally used. The must-weight of the grape juice at the time of pressing has to reach a minimum level of 27 °NM. Straw wines are usually of tremendous structure, lusciously sweet and are comparatively rare and thus also very expensive.

STRAW WINE YEAR 2004
At the end of the wine festival the highest quality grapes are picked, placed into wooden presses, and laid in a bed of rye straw.
They are then kept in a well ventilated place in a former granary. After a long month there occurs a gradual evaporation of water from the grape, while their health must be checked regularly. After pressing we attain a highly concentrated juice, which then still awaits a long road of changes until finally there is created an interesting straw wine, which excels for its lovely, bouquet, full velvet taste with a higher residual sweetness.
