Production of Riesling Maikammer Kirchenstück dry - Weingut Faubel

The grapes for this Riesling come from the renowned Maikammerer Kirchenstück vineyard in the Palatinate. The climate here is characterized by abundant sunshine, warm days and noticeably cooler nights. These temperature differences preserve the grapes’ lively freshness and intensify their aromatic profile. The loam and sandy soils store sufficient water while also providing good drainage, allowing the vines to root deeply and absorb plenty of character from the subsoil.

Careful hand harvesting forms the basis for this wine’s high quality. Only fully ripe, aromatic grapes reach the cellar. Strict selection already takes place in the vineyard, ensuring that only flawless fruit is processed. Harvesting in small batches allows the winemaking team to respond optimally to the stage of development and aromatic ripeness of each individual parcel.

In the cellar, Weingut Faubel relies on a combination of modern technology and traditional sensitivity. Gentle pressing preserves the Riesling grapes’ delicate aromatic compounds. The must initially rests for a short time so that suspended particles can settle. Fermentation then takes place in stainless steel tanks under controlled temperatures. This approach preserves aromatic clarity and the variety’s characteristic freshness.

A portion of the wine also matures in large wooden barrels. This method gives the Riesling greater depth and structure without overwhelming the fruit. The large-format wood remains restrained, emphasizing finesse and length above all. The result is a very balanced style that elegantly combines fruit, minerality and delicate creaminess.

The winemaker’s style is evident in every detail: clear lines, maximum precision and a pronounced expression of origin. The Riesling Maikammer Kirchenstück dry - Weingut Faubel embodies this philosophy impressively and presents the Palatinate at its elegant, sophisticated best.
