TASTING NOTE
\nLovely floral aromas combined with green apples. A nice fresh and fruity summer
\nwine with well alanced acidity. It is a nice alternative to Riesling for those who do
\nnot like too much acidity.
\nWINEMAKER’S NOTE
\nThe Rivaner grows in our coolest vineyard sites to capture its beautiful fruit
\nexpression. The main soil type is loess and loess loam. The vineyards had
\nundergone an intense canopy management, deleafing and green harvest to
\nintensify the character and quality. The ripe and healthy fruits in 2012 were left on
\nthe vines until reaching its optimum flavour. Harvested and sorted by hand.
\nPressing occured at a very slow and gentle speed to conserve the maximum
\nquality. The juice was cold settled and fermented partly on its own yeast in
\nstainless steel tanks to gain its luscious fruit.
