Viticulture at Spreitzer emphasizes naturalness: cover crops of herbs, greens, and lentils alternate with grains throughout the seasons, maintaining soil health and biodiversity. The winemaking process reflects the Spreitzers' philosophy: the must is cleaned by gravity for 24 hours after whole-cluster pressing, wines rest on their gross lees, and filtering occurs only once to preserve aromatic freshness. Fermentation is long, and extended lees aging protects the juice from oxidation, mostly using ambient yeast in both temperature-controlled stainless steel and 1200-liter casks of German oak. This 2021 Rosengarten Grosses Gewächs (Grand Cru), at three years of age, displays the mineral intensity and subtle fruit that characterize great Rheingau Riesling.
