WINE MAKING PROCESS
The Frey Organic Riesling Bergstein is produced using organic viticulture practices. Grapes are selectively hand-picked for ripeness, with some hand-harvested and the rest machine-harvested. The winemaking involves gentle pressing, followed by a six-hour skin maceration for approximately 20% of the grapes. Fermentation is initiated by vineyard yeasts, a near-natural process. The wine is then aged on its lees in stainless steel tanks until bottling. The winery also utilizes aging in oak barrels and barriques.
