This is expressed, among other things, in particularly long and evenly ripening grapes and rather moderate alcohol content in the wine.

Fermentation then takes place in large wooden casks at controlled temperatures. After the end of fermentation, the elegant Rüdesheimer Berg Rottland Riesling GG is matured for a few more months in oak barrels.
