Wine of the month October

As all of its Erste Lage (top site) counterparts, this wine meets the highest international standards. Even in its youth (2007), the quality of this wine was acknowledged with a gold medal at the International Wine Challenge.

The soil conditions and microclimate of the Nussbrunnen site in Hattenheim provide ideal conditions for producing wines of superb quality. The grapes are selectively harvested by hand in several stages and then processed with great care: no mashing, no pumping. This enables us to bottle a wine that has retained 100% of its Riesling character.

Try our 2006 Hattenheim Nussbrunnen Riesling Auslese with an autumn dessert. With its delicate fruit aromas reminiscent of nashi pear and litchi and its fine, natural sweetness underpinned by a crisp, fresh acidity, this wine is delicious with a quark (fresh, unripened curd cheese) strudel with rum-soaked raisins. (Alternative in countries where quark is not readily available: cheesecake.) Top-quality wines need time to develop. This wine is particularly enjoyable now, at this stage of its life...

Gold medal winner at the 2007 International Wine Challenge.
