Production Details The Riesling grapes were hand selected and only perfect bunches were picked, as a result we only harvested 2 tons per hectare. Despite these low yields, the Riesling vines provided excellent quality fruit with super acidity and fresh aromatics. The Riesling is made in a natural and more importantly minimalistic style. The wine was naturally fermented and left on the lees for 6 months. Long extended skin contact before pressing, cold fermentation, no added enzymes and only the bare minimal essential additives were used in the making of this wine.
