WINE MAKING PROCESS
The creation of this Deidesheimer Riesling trocken begins in the vineyard, where Weingut Andres employs rigorous organic and biodynamic farming methods. These practices focus on fostering a healthy vineyard ecosystem, ensuring the grapes develop with exceptional natural quality. Upon harvest, the grapes undergo spontaneous fermentation, relying solely on indigenous yeasts to convert sugar into alcohol. This natural process is a cornerstone of the winery's 'less is more' philosophy. Post-fermentation, the wine is matured in a combination of large wooden barrels and stainless steel tanks. This careful aging process is designed to enhance the wine's inherent spice and complexity while maintaining its fresh, vibrant character. The overall approach is one of minimal intervention, allowing the unique expression of the Deidesheim terroir and the Riesling grape to shine through.
