Vinification of the wine estate Forstmeister Geltz Zilliken Riesling Saarburg Alte Reben 1,5 l Magnum

This elegant white wine from Germany is vinified from the Riesling grape variety. In Mosel, the vines that produce the grapes for this wine grow on soils of slate. Riesling Saarburg Alte Reben 1,5 l Magnum is an Old World wine in the best sense of the word, as this German wine breathes an extraordinary European charm that clearly underlines the success of Old World wines. The fact that Riesling grapes thrive under the influence of a rather cool climate also has a considerable influence on the ripening of the vintage. This manifests itself, among other things, in particularly long and even grapes and rather moderate alcohol content in the wine. After the hand harvest, the grapes reach the press house as quickly as possible. Here they are selected and carefully broken up. Then fermentation takes place in large wood at controlled temperatures. After its end, the light-footed Riesling Saarburg Alte Reben 1,5 l Magnum is aged for several months in 1000 liter oak barrels.
