WINE MAKING PROCESS
The Reichsrat von Buhl Riesling Trocken is produced using grapes from certified organic vineyards. Key techniques include manual harvesting with selective hand-picking and significant yield reduction. Fermentation primarily occurs naturally in stainless steel tanks, with some parcels potentially using oval 'dopplestück' oak casks. The wine undergoes extended lees aging for six months on gross lees. Winemaking emphasizes minimal intervention and low sulfur additions, aiming to preserve the purity and terroir-driven character of the Riesling.
