These vineyards are situated in various villages with limestone, sandy, and granitic soils, providing optimal conditions for Riesling cultivation. The region’s semi-continental climate, characterized by warm, sunny days and cool nights, allows for slow, even ripening, preserving the grape’s natural acidity and aromatic complexity. \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\u003eGrape Varietals \u0026amp; Percentage Used\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003e100% Riesling\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\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003eThe grapes were crushed and delicately pressed in a pneumatic press, then fermented in temperature-controlled stainless steel and concrete vats for three to four weeks.
