The winery can look back on an eventful history. Founded at the beginning of the 20th century, it had a brilliant time as a state wine-growing domain from the 1960s to the 1980s and was undoubtedly one of Germany's top wineries. But the splendor and fame of the Royal Prussian wine-growing domain were soon lost. Only since Jens Reidel and Christine Dinse took over the estate in 2009, made Karsten Peter cellar master and estate manager and turned everything upside down, has the winery returned to its glory days - now under a new name: Gut Hermannsberg
Grape Varietals & Region: 100% Riesling from Nahe, Germany. The VDP.Grosse Lagen site of Hermannsberg is only 200m away from the copper mine, but its soils and their characteristics could not be more different. Clay slate in the subsoil is overgrown by loess, melaphyr was brought into the vineyard over 100 years ago during mining
Taste Profile: Very intense nose, lots of ripe fruit, rich and expansive for a Hermannsberg. Lots of orange, mango, netted melon. On the palate, flint comes through, that is, flint.
Winemaking Process: Organic vineyard work, whole-cluster maceration, only short standing times, half fermented and matured in 600-liter stainless steel containers and half in 600-liter barrels
From the limestone character of Sancerre to the green, herbaceous Sauvignon Blanc of Marlborough, this style group often shows off cut grass and wet stone. Often associated with coastal regions or limestone based terroir, these wines are characterised with crisp acidity, mineraiity, citrus tones, with a hint of grassiness

Founded in 2019, we were bored with the typical Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Chardonnay, Amarone & Moscato offerings at most bars & restaurants, and were inspired to dive deeper into the wine world!
