Vinification of the Riesling Well Done dry from Weingut Metzger

At Weingut Metzger, the production of the Riesling Well Done dry from Weingut Metzger follows sustainable cultivation and careful harvesting. The grapes ripen on steep, mineral-rich loam soils, which lend the wine its characteristic minerality. Harvesting is done by hand-selection to use only the best grapes for vinification.

After selective hand-picking, the grapes are gently destemmed and softly pressed. Spontaneous fermentation takes place in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks, which promotes the expression of delicate fruit and fine minerality. During fermentation, part of the must remains on the fine lees to enhance complexity and flavor. Maturation takes place mainly in stainless steel tanks, preserving freshness and aromatic clarity. At optimal ripeness, the wine is tuned to its liveliness to bring out the attacked fruit and mineral nuances to the best possible effect.
