WINE MAKING PROCESS
The THÖRLE Kabinett Riesling fruchtsüß 2023 is produced using organic viticulture. After harvesting grapes from Saulheim, they are lightly crushed and pressed. Fermentation is spontaneous, utilizing natural yeasts in stainless steel tanks for six weeks. Crucially, fermentation is stopped by cooling when the wine reaches 9% ABV, preserving natural grape sweetness. The wine then ages on its full lees in stainless steel for four months before bottling. This process results in an off-dry, light-bodied white wine with pronounced fruit, floral, and mineral notes.
