Vinification
Jochen's latest project, 'Vintages', reinforces his reputation for innovation. Inspired by the meticulous work of the cellar masters in Champagne, Jochen is determined to showcase that still wines can gain depth and complexity from the skillful blending of different, but complementary, vintages. `Vintages` Riesling is a pure dry wine blending the uniqueness of eight harvests: the elegance of 2023, the precision of 2022, the fruitiness of 2021, the minerality of 2020, the finesse of 2019, the balance of 2018, the fine mature aromas of 2017 and the freshness of 2024. The organic Riesling grapes were harvested by hand, destemmed and macerated on skins for 8 hours. The juice was fermented with indigenous yeasts in 90% stainless steel tanks and 10% in `Halbstückfass`, 600 litre oak barrels. Maturation followed in the same vessels before the final blending and bottling.
