WINE MAKING PROCESS
The Wachenheimer Riesling Trocken 2021 is produced from hand-picked, biodynamically grown grapes. The winemaking process involves temperature-controlled spontaneous fermentation, followed by maturation. The wine is aged in a combination of stainless steel tanks and large oak barrels, with some sources mentioning Doppelstück wooden barrels. The winery's approach emphasizes minimal intervention to express the terroir.
