Riesling Alto Adige South tyrol

A.A. Riesling DOC "Graf" 2023

The fastidious Riesling loves the sun-exposed locations and sparse, sometimes shale soils high above Merano and in the Val Venosta Valley. Only a few grapes from selected vineyards succeed in satisfying the quality standards of the cellar master. This unique dry wine is produced extremely carefully using the whole-cluster pressing method followed by spontaneous fermentation.

A majestic wine.
