Vinification of the Riesling Bockstein Grosses Gewächs from Weingut Nik Weis The cultivation of Riesling takes place in one of the best locations along the Mosel, where the soils are rich in slate. This special composition helps the grapes develop an intense spectrum of aromas. The grapes are hand-picked in the second half of September to select only the best and ripest fruits. After careful harvesting, the grapes undergo gentle pressing. The must is then fermented in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks to preserve the fresh aromas. Fermentation lasts several weeks, ensuring that the complex flavor nuances can fully unfold. After fermentation, the wine matures for 12 months on the fine lees, which adds additional depth and complexity. Overall, Weingut Nik Weis aims with this vinification to impressively capture the terroir and elegance of the Riesling in the bottle.
