When winemakers talk about 'gentle handling', this is exactly what they mean. Gently crushed, airbag pressed, cold settled - every step was designed to preserve the pristine fruit character and vibrant natural acidity that makes great riesling so compelling. Then comes the smart bit: dividing the juice into separate 1-tonne stainless steel fermenters and barrels with selected yeast strains for individual batches. This isn't mass production, it's artisanal precision. To be fair, it's what we've come to expect from this brilliant, albeit shy, winemaker. Whether you're a rusted-on riesling freak or still discovering what the fuss is about, this delivers everything you want from an aged expression of the variety. Stunning.
