Vinification of the Weingut Josef Leitz Rüdesheimer Berg Roseneck Riesling GG

The balanced Rüdesheimer Berg Roseneck Riesling GG from Germany is a varietal wine, made from the Riesling grape. In the Rheingau, the vines that produce the grapes for this wine grow on limestone and loess soils. The Rüdesheimer Berg Roseneck Riesling GG is an Old World wine through and through, as this German wine exudes an exceptional European charm that clearly underscores the success of wines from the Old World. The development of the grapes for this Riesling wine is influenced to a not insignificant extent by the climate of the growing region. In the Rheingau, the grapes thrive in a rather cool climate, which is reflected, among other things, in particularly long and even grapes and a rather moderate must weight. After the harvest, the grapes are quickly brought to the press house. There they are sorted and gently crushed. Fermentation then takes place in large wooden casks at controlled temperatures. After fermentation is complete, the elegant Rüdesheimer Berg Roseneck Riesling GG is matured for a further 21 months in oak barrels.
