The beautiful vineyards of Villa Huesgen

The Riesling grapes are grown in the Enkircher Steffensberg vineyard in the Mosel region. This vineyard features enormously steep slopes with copper-red and gray slate soils. This soil structure gives the final wine greater strength and structure. When the grapes are fully ripe, they are harvested entirely by hand and brought to the winery. Upon arrival at the winery, the grapes are foot-pressed according to traditional methods. The resulting juice is then held in contact with the grape skins to extract more flavor and aromas. The juice is then very gently pressed. Fermentation then takes place in stainless steel tanks at a cool temperature. After this, the wine remains in contact with the yeast cells for some time. The Riesling Kabinett Feinherb is made to be slightly sweeter than off-dry.
