WINE MAKING PROCESS
The Klumpp Himmelreich Riesling is produced using 100% Riesling grapes. The winemaking process involves spontaneous fermentation with wild yeasts in used 500-liter French oak casks. Following fermentation, the wine is matured for 10 months on its full lees, with regular batonnage. The grapes are organically grown, reflecting the producer's commitment to sustainable viticulture. The vineyard site, Himmelreich, contributes to the wine's character through its unique soil composition and the age of the vines.
