Vinification of the Durbacher Schloss Staufenberg Klingelberger Riesling Erste Lage by Weingut Markgraf von Baden The basis for the balanced Durbacher Schloss Staufenberg Klingelberger Riesling Erste Lage from Baden are grapes from the Riesling grape variety. The grapes grow under optimal conditions in Baden. The vines here dig their roots deep into soils of granite. What is unusual about the origin of this top wine from Weingut Markgraf von Baden is the fact that the grapes grow on stone terraces in Durbach (DE). However, this traditional form of vineyard management is very costly and time-consuming and therefore rarely found anymore. Clearly, the Durbacher Schloss Staufenberg Klingelberger Riesling Erste Lage is also determined by the climate and viticultural style of Durbach. This German wine can be described as an Old World wine in the best sense of the word, which presents itself in an exceptionally impressive way. The fact that the Riesling grapes thrive under the influence of a rather cool climate also has a very high influence on the development of the vintage. This manifests itself, among other things, in particularly long and uniform grapes and rather moderate alcohol content in the wine. When perfectly ripe, the grapes for the Durbacher Schloss Staufenberg Klingelberger Riesling Erste Lage are harvested exclusively by hand without the help of coarse and less selective grape harvesters. After the hand harvest, the grapes quickly reach the press house. Here they are sorted and carefully broken up. Fermentation then takes place in large wood at controlled temperatures. Fermentation is followed by aging on the fine lees for several months before the wine is finally bottled.
