WINE MAKING PROCESS
The 2021 Becker Silvaner is produced using hand-picked grapes. Following harvest, the grapes undergo fermentation, a process carefully managed to preserve the varietal's characteristic fruitiness. The wine is subsequently aged in stainless steel tanks. This technique is employed to maintain the wine's freshness and allow for a direct expression of the Silvaner grape. Weingut Becker's winemaking philosophy emphasizes a minimalist approach in the cellar, guided by a blend of traditional methods and modern winemaking insights.
