2023 Villa Wolf Riesling Fruity

The Riesling from Villa Wolf is harvested at the end of September and immediately destemmed in the vinification room, after which it is gently pressed with the greatest care. After this, the juice remains for more than two weeks in stainless steel tanks at a controlled temperature of 18°C to undergo alcoholic fermentation. After this, the wine is matured on its fine lees without allowing malolactic fermentation to take place, in order to retain the freshness in this wine. After a few months, the assembly follows and the wine is bottled after a light filtering.

The Riesling Fruity with its light straw yellow color gives in the nose aromas of passion fruit and juicy stone fruits. This Riesling shows in the attack the aromas of lemon, yellow stone fruit and green apple. The fresh acids are slightly masked by the little residual sweetness after which it ends in a light mineral aftertaste. Truly a fruity, fresh not too dry Riesling!
