Vinification of the Abtsberg Riesling Auslese No. 87, edelsüß 0.375l by Maximin Grünhaus

The wine is produced from carefully selected Riesling grapes grown in the renowned Abtsberg, one of the top vineyards along the Mosel. The ideal soil conditions with slate and mineral-rich substrates give the grapes a distinctive mineral character and finesse.

1. The grapes are harvested by hand at their optimal ripeness to process only ripe and botrytized berries. This so-called "Auslese" emphasizes the natural sweetness and aromatic intensity.

2. After harvest, a cool must fermentation takes place, helping to preserve freshness and fruity aromas, while the fermentation process is slowly halted to achieve the desired semi-sweet residual sugar.

3. The lengthy and careful vinification concludes with aging in stainless steel tanks, ensuring the purity of the flavor and retaining the full expression of the grapes.

This process combines traditional craftsmanship with modern cellar technology to ensure maximum quality and expression. The result is a wine that showcases the exceptional character of its origin in all its facets.
