Vinification of Wachenheimer Altenburg Riesling 1.5L Magnum by Weingut Dr. Bürklin-Wolf

The grapes for the Wachenheimer Altenburg Riesling 1.5L Magnum by Weingut Dr. Bürklin-Wolf originate from the renowned Altenburg vineyard in Wachenheim. It is situated on calcareous loess soil, imparting an unmistakable mineral character to the wines. The vines benefit from an optimal microclimate with plenty of sunshine and cool nights, preserving acidity and increasing aromatic complexity.

The harvest is exclusively manual, selecting the grapes in perfect condition to ensure high quality. The grapes are then gently pressed, using only the finest juice to guarantee delicate extraction of aromas.

The vinification process is traditional, carried out in stainless steel tanks at controlled temperatures to maintain freshness and emphasize varietal clarity. The mash fermentation is avoided to preserve the purity of the fruit aromas. After fermentation, the wine ages on fine lees, giving it more body and a certain creaminess. Part of the storage is also done under oxygen protection to highlight the fruity and mineral notes particularly.

The maturation in large stainless steel containers guarantees that the characteristic freshness and liveliness of the Riesling are preserved, without oak aromas dominating the flavor. This delicate approach results in an elegant wine with pronounced depth and a sustainable finish.
