Production of the Riesling Brut - Dreissigacker

Rheinhessen is one of Germany’s most dynamic wine regions, characterized by gentle hills, expansive views, and a mild, dry climate. The vineyards for the Riesling Brut - Dreissigacker are situated on soils of loess, limestone, and clay, which give the vines abundant minerality and tension. Sunny days and cool nights extend the ripening period and preserve the Riesling’s characteristic freshness, while sufficient wind helps ensure dry grapes and aromatic concentration.

The Riesling grapes are harvested selectively, with exacting standards for ripeness and aromatics. Only perfectly clean, intensely aromatic grapes make it into the cellar. The grapes are handled gently in the press to preserve the delicate aromas of green apple, peach, and citrus in their pure form. Controlled fermentation in stainless steel tanks shapes the clear, fresh aromatic profile and retains the precise acidity that is so characteristic of premium Riesling sparkling wine.

Following the initial fermentation, the base wine rests on its fine lees, gaining additional complexity, creamy texture, and delicate yeasty spice. The second fermentation takes place in the bottle according to the traditional method, allowing the mousse to develop slowly and evenly. Extended aging on the lees gives the sparkling wine notes of brioche, fresh pastry, and delicate nutty nuances. The dosage remains restrained, allowing the brut style to appear clear, precise, and unfussy.

The Dreissigacker winery style stands for uncompromising quality, clear origin, and artisanal precision. Every step in the vineyard and cellar is focused on finesse, elegance, and expression. The Riesling grapes from Rheinhessen are given a stage on which fruit, minerality, and structure work together harmoniously. The result is a sparkling wine that conveys its origin distinctly in the glass while also appearing modern, precise, and full of character.
