Vinification of Benediktusberg Silvaner by Rudolf May

The Benediktusberg Silvaner by Rudolf May comes from premier locations, characterized by calcareous soils that enable optimal ripening of the grapes. Benediktusberg is known for its particularly favorable climatic conditions, combining plenty of sunshine with an appropriate nighttime temperature. These factors promote an optimal aroma development and top-quality grapes.

The grapes are harvested by hand to ensure their quality and to select the best berries. Afterwards, a gentle pressing is performed to extract only the finest must, free from unwanted bitter components. The vinification takes place under temperature control in stainless steel tanks to preserve freshness and fruitiness as much as possible.

The wine is matured in stainless steel barrels, whose neutrality ideally accentuates the fruity and mineral character of the Silvaner. The aging process lasts several months, during which the wine gains time to develop harmoniously and its full bouquet. Careful filtration before bottling ensures clarity and stability in the glass.

In summary, the production process follows these steps:

1. Hand-selected harvest of ripe Silvaner grapes
2. Careful pressing and must extraction
3. Fermentation at controlled temperatures
4. Reifung in stainless steel tanks for pure fruit experience and minerality
5. Bottling after thorough clarification and adjustments
