WINE MAKING PROCESS
The Gönnheimer Riesling trocken 2021 is produced using 100% Riesling grapes, hand-harvested from biodynamically and organically farmed vineyards. The winemaking process involves spontaneous fermentation, with half of the must fermented in traditional wooden vats and the other half in stainless steel. This method aims to capture the essence of the vineyard and the vintage, resulting in a wine that reflects its origin.
