WINE MAKING PROCESS
The Jakob Jung Riesling Classic is produced using 100% Riesling grapes from the Rheingau. The winemaking process begins with gentle pressing, followed by cool fermentation designed to preserve aromas. The wine then undergoes extended aging on fine lees in stainless steel tanks, which contributes to its fullness and fruit expression. The winery's viticultural practices emphasize natural cultivation, including the use of permanent cover crops and minimized plant protection, reflecting a commitment to sustainable vineyard management.
