Weingut Karl May: Tradition Meets Modernity
Weingut Karl May stands for sustainable viticulture and high-quality wines. With the Muskateller 2024, the winery once again presents a wine that combines tradition and modernity and delights wine lovers. To harvest ripe grapes in autumn, Fritz and Peter May begin gentle pruning in January and early defoliation of the grape zone for optimal sun exposure, as well as yield reduction through green harvesting in early summer. Selective hand-picking of the grapes often takes place in several passes. The path to the new winery is not far, where the grapes are gently processed further. The mash is gently pressed, and the must is spontaneously fermented, remains on the lees for a long time, and is aged in stainless steel tanks. A small portion (5%) is aged in used wooden barrels and later blended, which brings complexity, richness, and a hint of creaminess to the estate wine.
