Further description
The vineyards for the Riesling vom Kalkstein are located in the north of the Pfalz in the area called the Mittelhardt-Deutsche Weinstrasse. The soils are rich in limestone (German = Kalkstein), resulting from ancient sea sedimentations with skeletal fragments of marine organisms. This type of soil is relatively thin and porous and encourages the vines to root deeply, giving very fine and elegant wines.

Vinification details
The specially selected ripe Riesling grapes, coming from certain areas with limestone soils, were pressed gently after a short maceration time to extract a maximum of flavour compounds from the grapes. After preclarification the clean juice was fermented with controlled temperatures over a period of 2 weeks to retain the full amount of flavour due to the slow and controlled fermentation process, after which the wine aged on its own fine lees to gain structure and complexity until bottling.
