Production Details The Riesling is made in a natural and minimalistic style. The grapes were left on the skins for a period of 7 days before pressing, followed by a wild and spontaneous fermentation. The wine underwent cold fermentation, followed by 5 months maturation in neutral 500L french oak barrels, then left on the lees in tank for 7 months before blending and bottling.
