Gut Hermannsberg Vom Vulkan Riesling Trocken 2023

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 Gut Hermannsberg "Vom Vulkan" is a complex wine with an expressive origin. The grapes for this VDP.Ortswein come exclusively from the VDP.GROSSE LAGE® Schlossböckelheimer Kupfergrube, sourced from 10 to 30-year-old vines. The vines are grown on Melaphyr, a volcanic igneous rock, covered by introduced carbonaceous shale

Taste Profile: On the nose, smoky aromas reminiscent of flint are evident, accompanied by subtle reduction and spice. The fine tannins contribute to a full and dense mouthfeel, perfectly balanced by a delicate acidity structure. A puristic wine, it presents itself with a certain salinity and a long, dry finish.

Winemaking Process: After selective hand harvesting and a short maceration period, spontaneous fermentation takes place and the wine matures on lees, partially in stainless steel tanks and partially in traditional oak barrels
