WINE MAKING PROCESS
The winemaking process for this Beblenheim Riesling emphasizes minimal intervention to showcase the purity of the grape and its terroir. Fermentation takes place in foudres, large oak barrels that allow for a gentle expression of the wine's character without imparting overt oak influence. Efforts are made to reduce sulfur levels throughout the process. The estate has transitioned from using smaller barrels to foudres as part of its evolving winemaking approach. The overall philosophy is to allow the natural qualities of the Riesling and the specific vineyard site to define the final wine.
