"Kiedrich Gräfenberg Riesling Trocken GG comes from “Große Gewächse” vineyards that have been known since the 12th century as “mons Rhingravii” (the mountain of the Rhine counties). A German equivalent of Grand Cru with a high slate and gravel content and a slope of up to 60%. Because of its extreme altitude, all the work is done by hand and once the Riesling grapes are harvested and selected by hand, they undergo traditional vinification in the winery. Firstly, the best grapes are destemmed and crushed and then the resulting must is fermented on lees in large, old oak barrels at controlled temperatures for 6 to 12 weeks. Finally, it undergoes a gentle filtration before bottling.
The result is Kiedrich Gräfenberg Riesling Trocken GG, a very mineral wine that embodies the qualities of an exceptional terroir. A monumental dry Riesling that stands out for its concentration and marked minerality."
