WINE MAKING PROCESS
The winemaking process for the Thanisch Riesling trocken begins with selective hand-harvesting of optimally ripened grapes. Fermentation is spontaneous and natural, utilizing estate-grown yeasts. For premium wines, fermentation takes place in traditional, large oak Fuder barrels (1,000 L) that are at least 50 years old. This technique aims to soften and balance the wine without imparting oak flavors. Stainless steel tanks are also used for fermentation. Premium wines undergo aging in these Fuder barrels.
