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: Botrytis cinerea
This fungus, also called noble rot, develops during the over-ripening phase and is an ally of great sweet white wines, when it concentrates the juice of the berries. It requires the humidity of morning fogs and beautiful sunny days, gives musts very rich in sugar and brings to the wines the famous taste of "roasted".
