Vinification of the Himmelspfad Retzbach Silvaner GG by Rudolf May

The cultivation of the Silvaner grapes takes place in the renowned Retzbach vineyard, whose calcareous shell limestone soils impart a distinctive mineral character to the wine. The extraordinary Große Gewächs is produced through a precise selection of grapes reaching optimal ripeness. The harvest is done exclusively by hand to ensure gentle handling of the berries. Particular attention is paid to the ideal timing to preserve the balance between fruit aromas and natural freshness.

The careful vinification begins with a cold maceration that supports the intense aroma and clear structure of the wine. The fermentation occurs spontaneously with the natural yeasts of the vineyard, enhancing typicity and increasing complexity. The aging takes place in traditional stainless steel tanks, which preserve the freshness and precision of the Silvaner. The Große Gewächs benefits from a long aging on fine lees, promoting fullness and creaminess of the body.

Through this gentle process, the Himmelspfad Retzbach Silvaner GG by Rudolf May conveys an extraordinary depth and harmony that delights connoisseurs and enthusiasts alike.
