Vinification of the Riesling Brut from Weingut Kirsten-Liebieg

The grapes for this noble Riesling Brut come from the best vineyards of Weingut Kirsten-Liebieg. Cultivation is carried out with great care and consideration of soil-specific conditions that significantly shape the character of the wine. The vines grow on limestone-clay soils, known for their drainage and warmth retention. These soils support the development of the typical mineral and fresh characteristics in the wine.

The harvest is conducted exclusively by hand to select only high-quality and fully ripe grapes. This caution is reflected in the clarity and precision of the resulting wine. The grapes are gently pressed immediately after harvest to preserve the delicate aromas.

The vinification follows classic methods of sparkling wine production:

1. Initial maturation of the base wines in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks.
2. Blending of the base wines to achieve the optimal aromatic balance.
3. Traditional bottle fermentation with a lengthy yeast aging of at least 18 months.
4. Riddling to bring the yeast deposit into the neck of the bottle, followed by disgorging.
5. Dosing with fine sugar to achieve perfect harmony between acidity and sweetness.

This careful and craft-oriented approach gives the Riesling Brut from Weingut Kirsten-Liebieg its impressive depth of aroma and elegance, which, compared to many other sparkling wines, stands out as particularly expressive and characterful.
