Now Viewing: Chateau St Michelle
Cool fermentation in stainless steel tanks was used to preserve the freshness of Saint M Riesling. Ernst believes in gentle cellar practices that allow the wine to develop its full potential with a minimum of handling and technological meddling. The quest for freshness is evident in Dr. Loosen's choice of the Stelvin screwcap for the bottle's closure. As Riesling specialists, the Dr. Loosen estate is especially sensitive to the issue of cork taint. After conducting trials at his estate for several years and considering numerous alternatives, Ernst found the Stelvin screwcap to be an ideal closure for early-drinking Rieslings. The Stelvin closure is known for preserving Riesling's fresh, lively character.
