What are the key winemaking techniques used for Riesling production?

Winemakers use different methods of showcasing the natural qualities of Riesling grapes. Fermentation at controlled temperatures is important in the preservation of the grape’s delicate aromas and lively acidity, while early bottling assists in maintaining the freshness and fruitiness. Some producers ferment Riesling wines in stainless steel tanks to preserve fruit, but others use oak barrels for additional complexity and texture.
