After the harvest, the grapes are sorted and selected in the cellar, before being delicately pressed. The juice flows by gravity into the cellar. Fermentation takes place with native yeasts. The wines are aged in the vaulted cellar built in 1829, in 80 wooden barrels. The oldest of these barrels dates from 1890 and each barrel contains the harvest from a single plot of the vineyard.
The Estate Riesling Trocken is made with hand-harvested and fully destemmed Riesling. The grapes undergo a short skin maceration before fermentation in tuns .
Grape variety: 100% Riesling
