WINE MAKING PROCESS
The Christmann Riesling Aus den Lagen is produced using grapes that are hand-picked from the estate's classified vineyards. The winemaking process begins with spontaneous fermentation, utilizing natural yeasts. Following fermentation, the wine matures in large wooden barrels, specifically Doppelstückfass, which are large oak casks. This approach aims to preserve the purity of the fruit and the expression of the vineyard's terroir.
