Vinification of the Riesling white wine from the Rheingau

The grapes for the Riesling white wine from the Rheingau are cultivated in the renowned Rheingau wine-growing region in Germany. The region is known for its first-class soils with mineral-rich slate, which offer Riesling grapes optimal growing conditions. The site benefits from a mild climate with cool nights, which allows the grapes to ripen slowly and evenly. Selective harvesting is done by hand in order to pick only ripe grapes. This guarantees quality and freshness right at the source.

After destemming, the grapes are gently pressed in order to preserve the fine aromas. Fermentation of the must takes place at controlled, cool temperatures in stainless steel tanks, which preserves the fruity character. By avoiding maturation in wooden barrels, the varietal-typical freshness and clarity of the Riesling white wine from the Rheingau is retained. The wine is then stored on the fine lees for several months, which gives it more fullness and structure without masking the lively acidity. Finally, it is bottled with careful control of sulfite and sulfur dioxide levels in order to preserve the freshness over the long term.
