The power of Von Winning wines
Von Winning is located in the Palatinate region of Germany. The winery has a rich history dating back to 1849, when it was founded. It is situated in the village of Deidesheim, known for its long tradition of winemaking. Von Winning has established itself as a leading winery renowned for its high-quality wines. They strive for perfection and excellence in every stage of the winemaking process, from vineyard to bottle. The winery has a strong focus on sustainability and ecologically responsible winemaking practices, and strives to produce wines that reflect the unique character of the terroir.
The grapes harvested for this 'Forster' are pressed directly at the winery, after which the juice is transferred to oak barrels of various sizes. Here, the juice undergoes spontaneous fermentation, meaning that fermentation occurs naturally without the addition of selected yeasts. The choice of oak barrels contributes to the wine's complexity and roundness. The wood imparts subtle aromas and flavors, giving it greater depth. The result is a wine that is slightly fuller and more complex in character, beautifully complementing the typical citrus acidity characteristic of Riesling wines.
