This terroir imparts a distinctive mineral character to the wines. The vineyard’s south and southwest-facing terraces, combined with elevations ranging from 230 to 345 meters, create a microclimate that fosters optimal ripening conditions. The 2020 vintage benefited from a warm, dry growing season, resulting in grapes with concentrated flavors and balanced acidity. \u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p3\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eVinification \u0026amp; Aging Methods\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003eHarvested between October 7–10, 2020, the Riesling grapes underwent fermentation in stainless steel tanks at controlled temperatures of 15–20°C.
