WINE MAKING PROCESS
The Staffelter Hof Riesling Sekt Brut 2019 is produced using 100% Riesling grapes from the Mosel region. The winemaking process begins with spontaneous fermentation, utilizing native yeasts present in the vineyard and winery. Following fermentation, the wine is aged in stainless steel tanks, a technique chosen to maintain its freshness and vibrant character without the influence of oak. The winery's commitment to organic viticulture, which includes practices like using cover crops and composts to enhance soil health and biodiversity, underpins the entire production. They also incorporate PIWI (fungus-resistant) grape varieties into their vineyard management. Furthermore, the estate actively pursues sustainability by producing renewable energy and exploring innovative packaging solutions to reduce its carbon footprint.
