Vinification of the Rüdesheimer Berg Kaisersteinfels Riesling GG from Weingut Josef Leitz

The balanced Rüdesheimer Berg Kaisersteinfels Riesling GG from Germany is a single-varietal wine made from the Riesling grape. The grapes grow under optimal conditions in the Rheingau. Here, the vines drive their roots deep into soils of limestone and loess. The Rüdesheimer Berg Kaisersteinfels Riesling GG is a true Old World wine, as this German wine exudes an exceptional European charm that clearly underlines the success of wines from the Old World. The fact that the Riesling grapes thrive under the influence of a rather cool climate also has a very strong impact on the ripening of the harvested fruit. This is expressed, among other things, in particularly long and even clusters and a rather moderate alcohol content in the wine. After harvesting, the grapes are quickly brought to the press house. There they are sorted and gently crushed. This is followed by fermentation in large wooden casks at controlled temperatures. After fermentation, the wine is aged for several months on the fine lees before it is finally bottled.
