Thirsch wines:

Thirsch wines are full-bodied, with a unique style and reflect our way of working with nature. Thirsch is the historical name of our farm and winery.

Vineyard:

and provides optimal ripening conditions for the grapes.

Winemaking:

Short maceration, fermented without chilling in stainless steel tanks, 10% fermented on the skins, aged 23 months on the fine lees. Bottled without filtration in September
2023.
