Vinification of Riesling by Rudolf May The grapes of this exquisite Riesling originate from carefully selected vineyards with excellent south-facing exposure. The soil is characterized by weathered slate and loess, which impart the wine's typical minerality and finesse. The vines grow under optimal climatic conditions with plenty of sunshine and cool nights. This ensures a perfect balance between sugar ripeness and delicate acidity. The harvest is done by hand to select only the best and ripest grapes. This guarantees the highest quality and purity in the must. Upon arrival at the winery, the grapes are gently pressed to preserve delicate aromas and avoid unwanted bitterness. The fermentation takes place at a controlled temperature in stainless steel containers. This method preserves the freshness and lively aromatics of the Riesling. Subsequently, the wine ages on fine lees for several months, which adds volume and roundness to its texture. There is a conscious decision to forego oak barrel aging to highlight the grape variety's typical fruitiness and clarity.
