WINE MAKING PROCESS
The Robert Weil Kiedrich Gräfenberg Riesling Trocken GG 2020 is produced from hand-harvested Riesling grapes. Fermentation occurs in large, neutral oak casks, often with natural yeasts. The wine then undergoes aging on its lees for 9 months in similar large oak vessels. The estate employs sustainable viticultural practices, including cover crops, organic fertilizer, and limited herbicide use.
