The fact that the Riesling grapes thrive under the influence of a rather cool climate also has a very strong impact on the ripening of the harvested fruit. This is expressed, among other things, in particularly long and even clusters and a rather moderate alcohol content in the wine. After harvesting, the grapes are quickly brought to the press house. There they are sorted and gently crushed. This is followed by fermentation in large wooden casks at controlled temperatures. After fermentation, the wine is aged for several months on the fine lees before it is finally bottled.
