WINE MAKING PROCESS
The Ruppertsberger Von Wallberg Riesling Trocken is primarily vinified in stainless steel tanks, a technique chosen to preserve its fresh and fruity characteristics. The producer notes that some wines are left on their lees to develop greater complexity and a more substantial body. The 2023 harvest in the Pfalz was influenced by generous sunshine, resulting in super-ripe fruit. The cooperative holds FAIR'N GREEN certification, indicating a commitment to sustainable viticultural practices.
