Only the very best meticulously hand-picked grapes go into this grand cru Riesling, pressed exclusively as whole bunches. The wine rests on its fine lees for 11 months in old 600- and 1,200-litre casks.
The 2024 Nonnenberg has a ripe nose of apple, citrus and white peach, framed by a whisper of herbs and delicate, fine spice. Intense and juicy but also pure, taut and invigorating on the palate. The wine's cool, linear profile leads into a long, saline, finely poised finish.
This five-hectare monopole in Rauenthal is a steep south-facing site with deep phyllite soils that transition into loess-loam further down the slope. The grapes for this great wine come from the steepest section of the vineyard, where some of the vines are over 70 years of age.
