Vinification of the Riesling white wine from the Rheingau

The Riesling grapes are grown in the renowned Rheingau, a region that is known worldwide for its white wines. There the grapes find ideal growing conditions thanks to the mild climate and mineral-rich soils. The grapes are carefully harvested to guarantee optimally ripe fruit with a perfectly balanced sugar and acidity content. Processing follows classic methods: after gentle hand-picking, the grapes are quickly pressed into must in order to preserve freshness and aroma. Fermentation takes place in a controlled manner at low temperatures in stainless steel tanks, which preserves the typical fruity and floral notes.

Aging takes place exclusively in stainless steel tanks, without any contact with wooden casks, in order to maintain the clear freshness and purity of the varietal character. This ensures purity of taste and emphasizes the semi-sweet aromas such as honey and candied fruits. The moderate alcohol content of 7.0% vol. is the result of early harvesting, which enables a natural balance. Bottling is carried out under hygienic conditions by the Schloss Vollrads winery, which is known for its precise craftsmanship and uncompromising quality.
