VITI/VINI The 21.5 hectare estate is divided among different plots on the hills surrounding the village of Weiler, all sustainably farmed. The grapes are entirely picked by hand, due to the incredibly steep slopes of each vineyard site. Each site, having a different soil type and situation, brings it’s own elements to the finished wine. During harvest there is a very careful selection made in the vineyard, requiring as many as three passes through the vines to only get perfect, ripe grapes. The high quality fruit is then gently pressed and allowed to ferment naturally in stainless steel tanks. The wine is then rested for up to 6 months on the fine lees adding to the beautiful texture. The result is a dry, fresh Riesling perfect for quaffing.
