WINE MAKING PROCESS
The S.A. Prüm Bernkasteler Lay Riesling GG is produced using grapes from old vines cultivated on steep, slate-covered slopes. Viticultural practices include organic methods, hand-harvesting, and strict yield control. Following harvest, the grapes undergo winemaking processes that are carefully managed to preserve the expression of the terroir. The wines mature in a cool cellar, with potential aging in either old wooden barrels or modern stainless steel vessels, allowing for development and complexity.
