Wunderwerk Riesling Magnum 2018

Dreissigacker Wunderwerk Riesling – gently matured for pure aromatics

The grapes for the Wunderwerk Riesling come from the biodynamically cultivated top sites of Bechtheim and Westhofen – Geyersberg, Kirchspiel, and Morstein. Bechtheim stands for warm, sun-drenched sites that produce very powerful and complex wines. In contrast, wines from the exposed sites around Westhofen have a cooler, particularly fresh style. The Dreissigacker Wunderwerk Riesling combines both. Dreissigacker's philosophy of bottling all wines as gently and with as much time as possible is also reflected in the Wunderwerk Riesling. The harvested grapes were transported exclusively by gravity, and pumps were not used at any stage of the process.
After selective hand-picking, the grapes were gently foot-trodden, then rested on the skins for over half a day before being gently pressed over several hours. To highlight the pure aromatics that the soils and vines of the top Rheinhessen sites possess, the must was then allowed to settle without any fining or adulteration.
