Subheading: Vinification of the Riesling dry 0.375l from Weingut Metzger

The vineyard of the Riesling dry from Weingut Metzger is situated on a mineral-rich mixture of limestone and clay, which significantly influences the characteristic minerality of the wine. The viticulture follows sustainable principles, with the grapes harvested at perfect ripeness to guarantee full flavor depth. The harvest is done manually to select the best grapes and ensure optimal yield. After handpicking, the grapes are gently crushed in a cool cellar. The alcoholic fermentation takes place at a controlled temperature of 16-18°C to preserve the fruit aromas optimally. The must undergoes fermentation over several weeks, allowing the winery to shape the complexity and depth of the fruit flavors intensely. The maturation occurs in stainless steel tanks, emphasizing the wine’s freshness and mineral character. During the aging process, the wine remains on the fine lees to further enhance complexity and maintain lively freshness. The result is a full-bodied, balanced Riesling that perfectly combines the terroir-typical minerality with elegant fruit harmony.
