This noble white variety from Germany is one of the most important on the global level.
Our Riesling is pale yellow, clean and bright. The nose is fresh and, at the same time, perfumed, full of fruit, citrus and floral aromas, highlighting notes of grapefruit, lime, apple and apricot, while delivering subtle notes of caramel, which lends to its complexity.
In the mouth, it is fresh, fruity, and well-balanced, with good acidity and smoothness, a great mid-palate, mineral qualities and a dry touch.

Vineyards
This Riesling comes from vineyards located in the Casablanca Valley. The vines are planted on trellises in soils composed of red clay, ideal for the production of white varieties. The yields, which are controlled, are approximately 10-12 tons per hectare.

Climate
Even though Casablanca has a Mediterranean style climate with clearly marked seasons, its proximity to the Pacific Ocean has a great influence in the temperature conditions of the vineyards. During the summer, the temperatures do not to exceed 35°C, thus allowing a slow maturation of the grapes, which in turn results in more aromatic fruit flavos and a rich acidity.

Vinification
Our grapes are harvested by hand in April when they have reached optimal maturity, and are transported in bins of 350 kilograms so the clusters are not crushed, thus preserving the organoleptic quality of the grape. The grapes then undergo maceration at low temperatures for 12 hours. Subsequently, the juice is separated from its skins and decanted to obtain a clean fermentation. Next, the must is fermented in tanks of stainless steel for 20 days, with selected yeasts at temperatures of 15°-16°C (59°-61°F). An additional aging, with the fine lees is done in steel tanks for an additional 2-3 months to reinforce the structure and aromas. Finally, the wine is bottled and launched onto the different markets.
