WINE MAKING PROCESS
The Gustav Riesling Trocken is produced from 100% Riesling grapes grown in Rheinhessen. The winemaking process begins with grapes harvested separately according to vineyard site and must weight. Individual vineyard lots are then vinified separately in small, temperature-controlled stainless-steel tanks using selected yeast. Following fermentation, the wine is stored in tank until bottling. This approach emphasizes preserving the purity of the grape and the expression of the terroir.
