WINE MAKING PROCESS
The Peter & Paul Riesling is produced using 100% Riesling grapes. Eighty percent of the wine is fermented in stainless steel tanks at controlled temperatures using cultured yeast, employing a reductive winemaking style. The remaining twenty percent undergoes spontaneous fermentation in large oak barrels without the addition of sulfur dioxide, followed by aging on its lees. This dual approach aims to create a wine with both freshness and complexity.
