Vinification of the Schieler from WG Meissen

The Sächsische Winzergenossenschaft Meissen eG is one of the oldest and most renowned wine cooperatives in Germany. In the picturesque vineyards around Meissen, the grapes for the semi-dry Schieler grow on mineral-rich soils of loess and weathered granite. These soils give the wine its delicate freshness and aromatic depth. The moderate climate along the Elbe ensures slow, even ripening of the grapes, allowing them to develop their full aroma.

Harvesting is selective and gentle, usually in the early morning hours in order to preserve the fruit aromas as best as possible. The ripe grapes are pressed immediately after picking to finely extract color and fruit. The Schieler is traditionally produced as a cuvée from various red grape varieties that are fermented together. This classical method is typical for Saxony and brings out the unmistakable character of Schieler – fresh, fruity and harmonious.

Fermentation takes place in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks, which preserves the fresh fruit aromas. The wine then rests briefly on the fine lees to refine its balance and structure. Maturation in stainless steel ensures clarity and purity of flavor. Wood is deliberately avoided in order to keep the fresh fruit and delicate rosé profile in the foreground.

After vinification, the wine is filtered and bottled under controlled conditions. The modern bottle design and Stelvin screw cap preserve freshness and aromas right up to the moment of enjoyment.
