WINE MAKING PROCESS
The Grabenwerkstatt Riesling Ried Bruck 2022 is produced using 100% Riesling grapes from the Wachau region. The winemaking process emphasizes a puristic and unadulterated style. Key techniques include fermentation in stainless steel to maintain freshness and acidity, followed by extended aging on its full lees. This lees aging contributes to the wine's texture and complexity. The producer's philosophy guides the entire process, aiming for wines with light alcohol, dry profiles, and precision, deliberately avoiding the trend of ripe, botrytized Smaragd wines. The wine is bottled in lighter glass to minimize its environmental footprint.
