Expertise on the vinification of the Rivaner Riesling dry from Weingut Hiss

The Rivaner Riesling dry from Weingut Hiss is produced through a careful and traditional process that preserves the typical characteristics of the grape varieties. The vines grow on mineral-rich, well-drained soils that create ideal conditions for expressive grapes with vibrant freshness. The grapes are selectively harvested in late spring to ensure only fully ripe berries reach the cellar. Handpicking guarantees gentle processing of the grapes and preserves their fruity aromas.

After harvest, the grapes are gently destemmed and lightly pressed to retain their fresh fruit qualities. Fermentation occurs in temperature-controlled conditions at around 18°C in stainless steel tanks, where the yeasts develop the main aromas in a balanced way. During fermentation, the controlled temperature helps preserve fruitiness and integrates the mineral notes. Maturation also takes place in stainless steel tanks to maintain the freshness, liveliness, and typical aromas of the wine. If necessary, a minimally retained quantity of fine lees is left to promote the wine's creaminess. The result is a wine that displays its vibrant fruit aromas and authentic characteristics in perfect harmony, ideal for discerning connoisseurs who value authenticity.
