Kollwentz Steinzeiler 2013

While the rain is falling – currently 111 litres per square metre, which
will last us a while – we've been busy in the cellar!

The Steinzeiler takes shape – the best lots of Blaufränkisch are blended
with small portions of Zweigelt and Cabernet Sauvignon.
Our barriques are washed, then lightly treated with a lit sulfur ring – this
protects the wine from oxidation, as well as sterlising the bunghole of the
barrel.
The casks are then filled and finally painted with red-wine lees.
