WINE MAKING PROCESS
The winemaking process for Riesling Returns The Grape Collective begins with the gentle pressing of Riesling grapes. The resulting juice undergoes fermentation in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks, maintained at 18°C to safeguard fruitiness and freshness. Post-fermentation, the wine is aged on its lees for about three months, a technique intended to build depth and complexity. The grapes are harvested in early September. Organic farming practices are utilized, with some vintages designated as being in conversion to organic status.
