WINE MAKING PROCESS
The Ried Pfaffenberg Riesling is produced by Weingut Pichler-Krutzler with a philosophy of minimal intervention. Grapes are typically harvested early from lower altitude sites to preserve acidity and freshness. Fermentation usually takes place in stainless steel tanks. Following fermentation, the wine is aged on its lees for a minimum of six months, a process that contributes to its texture and complexity. The winery is committed to sustainable and organic farming practices, with organic certification being a focus since 2022.
