WINE MAKING PROCESS
Henkell Trocken is produced using a cuvée of high-quality white wines, with the exact grape percentages not consistently specified across sources. Some information suggests the use of the Charmat Method for secondary fermentation, while other accounts point to a slow natural fermentation in stainless steel for six months or the traditional method involving secondary bottle fermentation. The wine is bottled with a 11.5% ABV and has a residual sugar level of 22 g/L, classifying it as a dry to semi-sweet style.
