Vinification of Piesporter Goldtröpfchen Riesling by Günther Steinmetz

The elegant Piesporter Goldtröpfchen Riesling from Germany is a pure wine made from the Riesling grape variety. By the Moselle, the vines that produce the grapes for this wine grow on slate soils. Extraordinary at the origin of this white wine by Günther Steinmetz is the fact that the grapes in Piesport thrive on stone terraces. Unfortunately, this traditional way of cultivating the vineyard is very costly and time-consuming and is therefore rarely found any more. The grapes for this white wine from Germany are, after the optimal ripeness has been ensured, exclusively hand picked. After the manual harvest the grapes reach the winery as quickly as possible. Here they are sorted and carefully broken up. Fermentation then takes place at controlled temperatures. The fermentation is followed by a maturation for a few months in oak barrels.
