ABOUT THIS WINE
The Sankt Anna Riesling is a Qualitätswein from the Pfalz region of Germany, specifically from the Burrweiler sub-region. It is produced by Weingut Sankt Annaberg, a winery with a long family history dating back to 1538, now led by oenologist Victoria Lergenmüller. The wine originates from a unique monopole vineyard, "Burrweiler St. Annaberg," which is the highest vineyard in the Pfalz at 355 meters above sea level. This high-altitude site contributes to the wine's distinct character. The winery employs organic farming practices and emphasizes showcasing the wine's origin. The estate's name and vineyard are connected to local legends and the St. Anna Chapel.

WINE MAKING PROCESS
The Sankt Anna Riesling is produced from 100% Riesling grapes. Following harvest, the grapes undergo fermentation in stainless steel tanks. The wine is then aged for six months, also in stainless steel tanks. This winemaking process is designed to preserve the wine's freshness and highlight its varietal characteristics and the influence of its unique vineyard site. The producer, Weingut Sankt Annaberg, employs organic farming practices.
