Vinification of Altenberg Riesling Auslese from Von Othegraven

The basis for the elegant Altenberg Riesling Auslese from the Mosel is grapes of the Riesling variety. A not inconsiderable influence on the ripening of the harvested fruit is also the fact that the Riesling grapes thrive under the influence of a rather cool climate. This is expressed, among other things, in particularly long and even grapes and a rather moderate alcohol content in the wine. After harvesting, the grapes are brought to the winery immediately. There they are selected and gently crushed. This is followed by fermentation in stainless steel tanks at controlled temperatures. After fermentation has ended, Altenberg Riesling Auslese can continue to harmonize on the fine lees for several months.
