WINE MAKING PROCESS
The winemaking process for the Hauller Riesling begins with a slow pressing of whole grapes to avoid crushing. This is followed by traditional vinification with long fermentation periods, carefully managed with temperature control. The wine then matures for a minimum of six months in either old wood barrels or stainless steel tanks before bottling. Manual harvesting is employed to ensure the quality of the grapes.
