WINE MAKING PROCESS
The Königsmosel Riesling is produced from 100% Riesling grapes. The winemaking process involves harvesting ripe grapes and employing controlled fermentation techniques. The aim is to achieve a balance between residual sugar and acidity, preserving the characteristic fruit profile of the grape and region. The Josef Drathen winery utilizes its own laboratory for quality checks during grape ripening to ensure this balance.
