WINE MAKING PROCESS
This Riesling Sekt Brut is crafted using the traditional method of bottle fermentation (Klassische Flaschengärung). Following fermentation, the wine is aged on its lees to develop subtle complexity and texture, enhancing the delicate yeast character. This process aims to impart depth without overshadowing the pristine, varietal fruit profile of the 100% Riesling grapes. The estate employs digital RTK GPS guidance for tractors, ensuring precise and soil-protective under-vine cultivation.
