The wine region of Nahe
Homeland of a mineral Riesling of exceptional geological expression: lively, precise whites with notes of peach, citrus, green apple, gunflint and fine salinity, from taut dry to botrytised sweet. 75% whites, Riesling king (27%) complemented by round Pinot Gris and supple Pinot Blanc. Rising reds: silky Spätburgunder with red fruit, darker Dornfelder. 4,240 ha along the Nahe river, among the most diverse soils in Germany (180 formations).
The word of the wine: Maceration
Prolonged contact and exchange between the juice and the grape solids, especially the skin. Not to be confused with the time of fermentation, which follows maceration. The juice becomes loaded with colouring matter and tannins, and acquires aromas. For a rosé, the maceration is short so that the colour does not "rise" too much. For white wines too, a "pellicular maceration" can be practised, which allows the wine to acquire more fat.
