Vinification Wine

The Riesling grapes are harvested at full ripeness and processed with particular care. Following the traditional port wine method, the natural fermentation is stopped by the addition of high-quality grape spirit, preserving the wine’s natural residual sweetness. With 16% alcohol by volume, it presents a powerful yet harmonious palate, where juicy stone fruit notes, delicate spice, and vibrant acidity combine to create a well-balanced structure.
