WINE MAKING PROCESS
Motzenbäcker Riesling Kalkstein Sekt Brut is produced using the traditional bottle fermentation method, also known as Méthode Champenoise. Following primary fermentation, the wine undergoes a secondary fermentation in the bottle, which creates its effervescence. It is then aged on its lees for a minimum of 15 months. The grapes are cultivated using organic practices, emphasizing biodiversity and a connection with nature. The winery's vineyards are situated in prime locations within the Pfalz region, known for their limestone-rich soils.
