Berg Schlossberg 2024

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 per cent, 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. 

The 2024 wine year was marked by unusually wet and warm weather. Spring started off mild, but a drop in temperature in April slowed down the development of the vines, which was further hampered by high rainfall in May. The summer was changeable with frequent rainfall, while temperatures fluctuated. Despite some dry spells, rainfall remained above average. In mid-September, a rapid yet intensive grape harvest began, requiring a great deal of selection. The result in the cellar was a vintage of cool, elegant and lively wines.

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 has monumental depth.
