WINE MAKING PROCESS
The winemaking process for this Riesling involves selective hand-harvesting, with multiple passes through the vineyard to ensure optimal grape ripeness. Fermentation occurs in stainless steel tanks, a technique chosen to preserve the wine's fresh fruit profile and acidity. Following fermentation, the wine is aged on its fine lees in stainless steel. The producer's approach emphasizes meticulous vineyard management, including careful pruning and yield limitation, with a focus on nature-loving care of the vineyard soils.
