WINE MAKING PROCESS
The winemaking process for Hans Baer Riesling Trocken involves harvesting grapes at dawn to maximize freshness. Fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks, a method chosen to preserve the wine's vibrant fruit aromas and crisp acidity. Following fermentation, the wine undergoes refinement on its lees and is aged in stainless steel. This approach avoids oak influence, ensuring a clean and direct expression of the Riesling grape. The brand's design also incorporates modern, urban aesthetics.
