WINE MAKING PROCESS
The Weingut Sybille Kuntz Orange Riesling 2022 is produced using 100% Riesling grapes from old vines on steep slopes in the Mosel. A key technique is extended skin maceration, where the grapes ferment on their skins for several weeks. Following maceration, the wine is aged in large, neutral oak barrels. It is bottled unfined and unfiltered. The estate adheres to Demeter certified biodynamic and organic farming practices.
