WINE MAKING PROCESS
The winemaking process for the Paul Blanck Riesling Classique begins with the careful extraction of juice using an air-bag press, employing slow, gentle pressing to avoid damaging the grapes. Fermentation is initiated naturally by indigenous yeasts present in the juice and typically lasts between four to 10 weeks. This process is conducted in stainless steel vats equipped with temperature control systems to optimize aroma preservation. Following fermentation, the wine undergoes aging in stainless steel. The estate's vineyards are managed with a focus on organic viticulture, contributing to the purity of the fruit.
