Münsterer Rheinberg Riesling Kabinett

Variety: Riesling

Vineyard: Münsterer Rheinberg
Soil Type: Weathered quartzite and sandy loam
Fermentation & Élevage: Crushed directly and fermented half in Hösch stückfass and half in stainless steel
Farming: Practicing Organic

The Rheinberg Kabinett comes entirely from the quartz dominated higher sections of the Rheinberg hill, facing south east. Vines are around 25 years old with much of the
vineyard planted in the 1990s. Harvested in the beginning of October at 70 hectoliters per hectare, the vines in Rheinberg were farmed without chemical fertilizers or
herbicides. Grapes are harvested, crushed directly and fermented half in Hösch stuckfass and half in stainless steel. Fermentation is natural with no added cultured
yeast. The wine is racked into stainless steel and cooled to stop fermentation, in late April, and bottled in the beginning of May.
