Literweise Riesling trocken - Weingut Hammel

The Literweise Riesling from Weingut Hammel in the Pfalz presents a bright, pale yellow color in the wine glass.

The Weingut Hammel Literweise Riesling presents itself to the wine lover as wonderfully dry. This white wine never appears coarse or austere, but rather round and smooth.

Vinification of the Literweise Riesling from Weingut Hammel

This white wine clearly focuses on a single grape variety, namely Riesling. For this wonderfully balanced varietal wine from Weingut Hammel, only immaculate grape material was used. The grapes grow under optimal conditions in the Pfalz. Here, the vines sink their roots deep into soils of sandstone and gravel. After harvesting, the grapes are brought quickly to the press house. There they are sorted and gently crushed. Fermentation then takes place in stainless steel tanks at controlled temperatures. After fermentation is complete, the Literweise Riesling can continue to harmonize on the fine lees for several months.
