WINE MAKING PROCESS
The 'Just Riesling Trocken' is crafted using spontaneous fermentation, relying on native yeasts to initiate the process. Winemaking at Gut Hermannsberg emphasizes minimal intervention, allowing the vineyard's character to shine through. Following fermentation, the wine undergoes clarification and stabilization in cool cellars. Aging typically occurs in stainless steel tanks to maintain freshness and fruit purity. The 2023 harvest involved meticulous grape selection to capture the optimal balance of ripeness and acidity.
