ABOUT THIS WINE
Weingut Georg Müller Stiftung is a historic estate located in Hattenheim, Rheingau.

This VDP.Ortswein represents the classic terroir of Hattenheim, sourced from mature vines grown on deep loess, clay, and quartzite soils. The proximity to the Rhine River and the protective Taunus Mountains create an ideal microclimate, allowing the Riesling grapes to develop rich flavors while maintaining their signature vibrant acidity.

WINE MAKING PROCESS
The grapes are harvested 100% manually to ensure only pristine fruit is selected. Following a gentle pressing, the juice undergoes temperature-controlled fermentation primarily in stainless steel tanks to preserve the fresh, fruit-forward varietal character of the Riesling. A small portion undergoes spontaneous fermentation with native yeasts to add complexity and texture. The wine is aged on its fine lees to enhance mouthfeel and structural integration before bottling.
