Vineyard

The vines have been organically farmed since 2016 and were planted between 2017 and 2019. The Monopol vineyard Bündte is one of Jenins’ highest vineyards, situated at an elevation of 645 meters above sea level. The name Bündte has the same meaning as “Clos” in Burgundy: a vineyard enclosed by walls, covering an area of approximately 1.5 hectares.

Production

The Bündte is fermented with a 60% proportion of whole grapes, spontaneously and in open stainless steel tanks. To keep mechanical stress as low as possible, we press the mash down only with our feet. This prevents the extraction of unwanted tannins. The wine is then aged for 12 months in 225-liter French barriques, 30% of which are new oak.
