Production Details The German clone grapes were vinified. Fermentation was stopped to retain a hint of natural fruit sugars. The Riesling vineyards were harvested at 21.5°B. The grapes were pressed in a pneumatic press with the free run juice being separated from the press fraction. After 2 days of settling in tank the clear juice was racked off its lees and inoculated with a French strain of yeast. Cold fermentation at 15°C occurred in stainless steel tanks until the perfect balance between the Residual Sugar and acidity was reached. The fermentation in this vintage was stopped at about 0°B to retain a hint of natural residual sugar.
