Vinification of the Riesling Grittermatte by Meyer Julien This wine clearly focuses on a single grape variety, namely Riesling. Only the best grapes were harvested for this exceptionally well-balanced varietal wine from Meyer Julien. In Alsace, the vines that produce the grapes for this wine grow on gravel soils. After the grape harvest, the grapes are quickly brought to the winery. There they are selected and gently crushed. Fermentation then takes place in stainless steel tanks and concrete at controlled temperatures. Vinification is followed by several months of aging on the fine lees before the wine is finally bottled. Food recommendation for the Riesling Grittermatte by Meyer Julien Enjoy this organic white wine from France ideally well chilled at 8–10°C as an accompanying wine to stir-fried vegetables with fish, pasta with fried sausage dumplings or asparagus salad with quinoa.
