WINE DESCRIPTION
Schmitt Sohne Family Wines craft their Riesling in the heart of Rheinhessen, Germany's "Land of 1,000 Hills." This historic region, one of the world's northernmost, boasts fertile soils dating back to Roman times. Their grapes are meticulously selected from prime vineyards, bathed in sunshine along the banks of the Rhine River. Germany's cool climate allows for a long ripening season, resulting in grapes bursting with fresh acidity.
The harvest is meticulous, with grapes hand-picked at dawn to preserve their delicate character. Gentle handling ensures the natural sweetness shines through. Schmitt Sohne utilizes temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks for fermentation, further emphasizing the crispness and vibrancy that defines their signature Riesling.
