WINE MAKING PROCESS
The Groh Riesling Trocken is produced using grapes harvested by selective hand-picking. Fermentation occurs in stainless steel tanks under controlled temperatures, with the potential for spontaneous fermentation in some of the producer's wines. Following fermentation, the wine undergoes a period of aging on its lees in stainless steel tanks for several months. The winery's approach emphasizes natural farming practices and the avoidance of animal products in their winemaking process.
