Scientific agricultural methods which are being introduced in viticulture and take into account specific properties of individual varieties of vine should be followed by selective treatment of wine. The present article deals with the results of experiments made with various varieties of the Rhine Ryzlink of 4 vintages to study the effect of properties, specific for given variety, upon the maturing process ant the maximum storing period of bottled wine. Analytic and tasting tests indicate, that in our conditions the Rhine Ryzlink wine can be safety filled in bottled after 8 - 10 months of storing in casks and two drawings off. The maximum storing period of bottled wine is 4 - 8 years according to the character of vintage and percentage of  extractable matter. Witin the indicated period the wine preserves its properties and flavour.
