Vinification of the Johannishof Riesling trocken

The Johannishof Riesling trocken comes from the renowned wine region of the Palatinate, more precisely from the Laumersheim subregion. The vines grow on limestone- and marl-rich soils, which give the wines a pronounced minerality. The grapes are hand-harvested at the optimal stage of ripeness to preserve their full aroma and freshness. Vinification takes place gently in the cellar, with an élevage recommended for a high-quality white wine glass, based on temperature control and short maceration times. The must is pressed immediately and fermented at low temperatures. This preserves the fine fruit notes and the wine’s vibrancy. The wine then matures in stainless steel tanks, supporting its clarity and freshness. The Riesling grape variety is vinified as a single varietal, without the use of wooden barrels, in order to retain its characteristic, pure flavor. A moderate acidity of 8.2 g/l and residual sugar of 4.3 g/l create the balanced, dry profile of the Johannishof Riesling trocken. A Stelvin screw cap guarantees long-lasting freshness and protects the quality until enjoyment.
