Grape variety: Riesling
Appellation: Mosel
Region: Germany
Soil: Slate
Average Vine Age: 90 years
Farming practices: Practicing organic, hand-harvested estate fruit.
Vinification: The Webers drop the Riesling grapes whole via gravity—no pumping from a harvest trailer—onto a customized ramp and into a Slovenian-made NIKO pneumatic press. The grapes are gently pressed for two to three hours and the resulting juice flows via gravity into the cellar below for a natural sedimentation in Fuder overnight.
Aging: then put into another cask, where the must ferments and later the wine stays on its gross lees until bottling in March, April, or May. All the wines are fermented by ambient yeasts. They don't use commercial enzymes, protein stabilizers, clarifying agents; nor do they chaptalize, concentrate, or de-acidify their wines.
