WINE MAKING PROCESS
The winemaking process for Wittmann Riesling Trocken begins with meticulous hand selection and gentle pressing of the Riesling grapes. Fermentation is carried out using native yeasts, either in large, used wooden barrels (Stückfass) or partly in stainless steel tanks. Following fermentation, the wine is matured on its lees in neutral oak barrels for approximately 10 months. The estate employs certified organic and biodynamic farming practices, focusing on low yields and careful vineyard management.
