WINE MAKING PROCESS
The production of Dr. Hermann Kinheimer Hubertuslay Riesling Eiswein 2021 involves the meticulous harvesting of Riesling grapes that have been naturally frozen on the vine. This harvest occurred on December 22nd, 2021, at -8°C. The frozen grapes are then gently pressed to extract a highly concentrated must. Fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks, where the must is allowed to ferment down to noble-sweet levels of residual sugar. The wine is made from the first pressing of the grapes.
