Vinification of Riesling Old Vines dry from Wild Schwarzwaldbrennerei & Weingut

The grapes for Riesling Old Vines dry from Wild Schwarzwaldbrennerei & Weingut come from old, deeply rooted vines cultivated on the calcareous soils of the Black Forest. The vines benefit from an optimal microclimate with cool nights and warm days, ensuring slow and even ripening. Gentle hand harvesting takes place in several selective passes to pick only the ripest grapes.

Vinification begins with gentle pressing, which preserves the fine grapes and avoids unwanted bitter substances. Fermentation is temperature-controlled in stainless steel tanks to retain the precise fruit aromas and the characteristic freshness of Riesling. Extended maceration lends the wine subtle complexity and depth.
