Vinification of Rudolf May's Silvaner

The grapes are cultivated on sun-kissed vineyards with sparse loess soils, providing the vines with ideal nutrient supply. The location, characterized by moderate elevation and cool nights, ensures a slow and even ripening of the grapes, resulting in particularly fine and complex aromas. The hand-harvesting process is carried out carefully and in multiple passes to only harvest perfectly ripe grapes. This guarantees optimal quality from the very beginning.

1. After delivery, the grapes are gently pressed to ensure the highest juice quality.

2. The must ferments in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks, where the wine develops a clean and defined aromatic profile through controlled yeast strains.

3. Maturation mainly takes place in stainless steel tanks to preserve freshness and fruitiness. A portion of the wine ages in large wooden barrels, which adds additional complexity and a subtle spiciness to the wine.

4. Before bottling, the wine rests for several weeks on fine lees, creating a delicate silkiness and a full-bodied mouthfeel. This gentle vinification results in a harmonious and balanced Silvaner with character and charm.
