Production Details The Riesling is made in a natural and minimalistic style. The grapes were left on the skins for a period of 4 days before pressing, followed by a wild and spontaneous fermentation. The wine underwent cold fermentation and was left on the gross lees in tank for 6 months. It spent a further 6 months in neutral French oak before blending and bottling.
