WINE MAKING PROCESS
The winemaking process for the Max Ferd Richter Brauneberger Juffer Riesling Kabinett begins with selective hand-harvesting from the Brauneberger Juffer vineyard. Fermentation takes place in traditional, old oak Fuder barrels, utilizing indigenous yeasts. This approach emphasizes minimal intervention, allowing the natural characteristics of the grape and the vineyard's terroir to shine through. Following fermentation, the wine continues to age in these Fuder barrels. The estate's winemaking philosophy is rooted in preserving the quality of the grapes and the vineyard, with a strong focus on sustainable viticultural practices, including the use of natural organic fertilizers and the avoidance of chemical treatments.
