Viticulture
Windisch's viticulture is conventional, with machine harvesting. Harvest is typically in early September.
Terroir
Typical vineyard soils in Rheinhessen is loess. Westhofener Bergkloster exhibits also an iron rich, red-hued soil with good drainage. The vineyards are further from the moderating influence of the Rhine, with a warmer microclimate than most German winegrowing regions.
Vineyard
Select vineyards throughout the Rheinhessen
Vinification
Destemmed grapes are innoculated with selected yeasts and undergo a cold soak prior to fermentation for better extraction. Fermentation is stopped by temperature while there is still residual sugar (in 2018, 81g/L). The wine is filtered, but not fined.
Aging
The wine is fermented and aged in steel tanks.
