Forst Riesling Trocken

    • Description :

      The grapes are hand-harvested in October and are sourced from different vineyards around Forst. After careful selection, the berries are softly pressed and the must settles for 24 hours. Spontaneous fermentation takes place in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks with a small amount of the wine fermented in traditional oak barrels. The wine rests on the lees for 6 months before bottling. The volcanic soil in the Forst vineyards contributes to the increased minerality found in this wine. 8,000 bottle production.
