WINE MAKING PROCESS
The Karl Schaefer Riesling Trocken is produced using 100% Riesling grapes from the Pfalz region. The winery practices ecological and organic viticulture, with a focus on preserving the vineyard ecosystem. Fermentation occurs in stainless steel tanks using selected yeasts from their own vineyards, with a slow process utilizing ambient temperatures from old vaulted cellars. The wine undergoes prolonged maturation on the gross lees, contributing to its texture and complexity.
