WINE MAKING PROCESS
The Grosset Springvale Riesling 2018 is produced from hand-harvested grapes that are gently crushed and destemmed, followed by soft pressing to extract the juice. Fermentation occurs over two weeks in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks, with batches kept separate based on clone and vine age. Neutral yeasts are used to preserve the natural expression of the vineyard. The wine is unfined. Grosset Wines is known for its advocacy of screwcap closures to maintain freshness.
