Vinification of the Riesling 1.0L from Weinhaus Steffen

The Riesling 1.0L from Weinhaus Steffen comes from carefully managed vineyards grown on lime-rich soils. These soils provide ideal conditions for the grapes to develop intense aroma and pronounced mineral character. The cultivation is carried out with consideration for the natural balance of the vines and in accordance with sustainable practices.

The harvest of the Riesling grapes is done in multiple passes by hand, ensuring only ripe grapes of the best quality are processed. Afterwards, the grapes are gently handled to preserve freshness and purity.

In the cellar, temperature-controlled fermentation ensures slow and natural development of the aromas. Fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks, which perfectly retain the fruity character. After fermentation, the wine matures on fine lees for several weeks. This process imparts a delicate creaminess and a harmonious structure without feeling heavy. The careful handling of the noble Riesling grape guarantees a wine with elegance and intense aromatic expression.
