Riesling is harvested in several stages in the vineyards of the monastery. The most precious crop of the vintage from the single vineyard was handled separately. Following destemming and selecting the grapes by an optical sorting machine, the pressed juice was settled and then slowly cold-fermented in stainless steel tanks and finally kept on the fine lees for a long time.
A wine of uncommon purity, this flagship Riesling selection is introduced by the citrus aromas, embodied in ripe notes of tangerine and orange. Crystalline and pristine, the wine relies on a broad acid foundation – a token for serious cellaring potential. The solid acid backbone attains a superb balance with a hint of residual sugar.
