WINE MAKING PROCESS
The Victoria Riesling is produced by WG Herxheim am Berg, a winemaking cooperative in the Pfalz region. The primary winemaking technique involves controlled fermentation of 100% Riesling grapes. Fermentation is stopped early to retain a moderate level of residual sugar and achieve a lower alcohol content. The 2018 harvest benefited from favorable weather conditions, resulting in ripe grapes.
