WINE MAKING PROCESS
The winemaking process for the Leitz Eins Zwei Dry Riesling begins with whole cluster pressing of the Riesling grapes. The resulting juice undergoes sedimentation before being cool fermented in stainless steel tanks. Following fermentation, the wine is aged in stainless steel. This method is designed to preserve the wine's freshness and inherent fruit qualities. The grapes are sourced from vineyards cultivated using organic farming methods.
