A lovely grape must
Federweisser is the first product of the vintage. Everything between grape juice and white wine is called Federweisser . Its tingling taste and its tasty-fruity note make it a pearly delicacy in the last summer and early autumn days.
Depending on the fermentation process, the alcohol content of Federweißer may vary between 4% and 11%. Over time, its pleasant sweetness turns into a slightly tart note. The German Wine Institute recommends that you always try the cloudy-yeasty drink before eating it. If the Federweißer is just right, store it in the fridge. The cold stops the fermentation process. If it tastes too sweet, let it ferment at room temperature. So he gains in taste.
