The south-facing vineyard, which Fritz and Peter cultivate organically, is internally referred to by them as \"Erste Lage\" (First Growth). Riesling thrives particularly well on rich loess-loam soils with a high proportion of limestone.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTo harvest fully ripe grapes in autumn, Fritz and Peter May begin in January with gentle pruning of the almost 30-year-old vines and early defoliation of the grape zone for optimal sun exposure, as well as yield reduction through green harvesting in early summer. Selective manual harvesting of the grapes often takes place in several passes. The path to the new winery is short, where the grapes are gently processed further. The mash is gently pressed, and the must is spontaneously fermented in large wooden barrels, where it remains on its full lees for several months until bottling.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eGeyersberg Riesling – a wine and its characteristics\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eOrigin Germany\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eGrowing region Rheinhessen\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eVineyard Bechtheim Geyersberg\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eGrape variety Riesling\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e12.5% vol.
