Berg Schlossberg 2023

Learn More About This Wine

The Schlossberg mountain lies in the bend of the Rhine, where the river has dug its way back to the north. The steepest vineyards in the Rheingau, with a gradient of up to 65 percent, are partly held in place by high vineyard walls. The soils here consist of barren Rhine slate and quartzite and also serve as heat storage. The name comes from Ehrenfels Castle, the ruins of which can still be seen from afar today. 

In Rheingau, 2023 was characterized by mixed conditions. A hot and dry summer led to early ripening of the grapes and potentially high quality wines. August and September brought unexpected rainfall, presenting the winemakers with many challenges. However, strict selection of the harvest made it possible to maintain the excellent quality. This resulted in wines with a lot of character and finesse. 

In Berg Schlossberg wines immense power and finesse come together. Salty and juicy at the same time. A lot of mineral spiciness. Delicate scent of stone fruits and orange skin. A Riesling which is very long lasting and with a monumental depth.
