WINE MAKING PROCESS
The Battenfeld Hohen-Sülzen Riesling Treasure Collection 2017 is produced using 100% Riesling grapes. The winemaking process involves wild-yeast fermentation, allowing natural yeasts to drive the fermentation. Following fermentation, the wine is aged in Stück and Doppelstück barrels. The 'Treasure Collection' designation indicates extended aging, both in barrel and in bottle, before the wine is released to the market. Grapes are selectively hand-harvested. The winery adheres to organic and biodynamic farming practices.
