WINE MAKING PROCESS
The Ruppertsberger Imperial Riesling is produced using traditional winemaking techniques focused on preserving the grape's natural characteristics. Fermentation takes place in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks, with the potential use of wild yeasts contributing to complexity. Post-fermentation, the wine is typically aged in stainless steel to maintain its freshness and fruit purity. The cooperative also adheres to sustainability practices, including cover cropping and natural fertilization, as evidenced by their FAIR'N GREEN certification.
