Trittenheimer Altärchen Riesling Kabinett – Weinhaus Gebrüder Steffen
The Trittenheimer Altärchen Riesling Kabinett trocken is a notable expression of the Riesling grape produced by Weinhaus Gebrüder Steffen.
Winemaking:
The winery employs traditional methods that emphasise the characteristics of the Riesling grape while also showcasing the unique terroir of the Mosel region. The grapes are typically hand-harvested to ensure that only the best fruit is selected. After being gently pressed, fermentation occurs in stainless steel tanks. This process creates a semi-dry wine, as fermentation is intentionally halted before all the sugar is converted into alcohol. This method allows some residual sugar to remain in the wine, resulting in a pleasant sweetness balanced by the wine’s natural acidity. The grapes for this wine are harvested from the prestigious Trittenheimer Altärchen vineyard in the Mosel.
Tasting Notes:
It is a finesse-rich, drinkable Riesling Kabinett with balanced sweetness and fresh acidity. Fruity aromas combined with mineral notes make it a versatile wine suitable for a variety of occasions.
