Berg Rottland 2020

Learn More About This Wine

The word Rottland derives from an old word meaning “preparing land for cultivation”. The steep, south-facing Berg Rottland is located on the western outskirts of Rudesheim. The soils here consist of gray-blue clay slate with a humus-rich top layer, loess and weathered slate grit. The warmer microclimate shaped by the Rhine allows the grapes to ripen early. 

During 2000, the winemakers mainly had to deal with drought stress in the vineyard. Although the vine with its long roots can compensate for drought, the now third dry season is clearly noticeable in three consecutive years. Fortunately, this did not affect the ripening of the grapes in the Rheingau area. The loose grapes of this vintage were healthy until harvest and had a fruity note. 

Berg Rottland produces mineral Rieslings with subtle power combining elegance with lushness, typical aromas include apricot, apple, herbs, juicy lemon and some stoniness.
