Nonnenberg 2023

Learn More About This Wine

The south-facing steep slope “Nonnenberg” is characterized by deep, greasy phyllite soils that end in loess loam in the lower slope. The name was derived from the nuns of the Tiefenthal monastery, who owned this slope and the buildings. The five-hectare vineyard area is solely owned and planted with vines, some of which are over 70 years old.

After eleven months of maturation in old 1200l barrels and 600l barrels, the wine is incredibly powerful, minerally and has a tart structure. Complex on the palate with aromas of red apple, juicy citrus and lively grip. Finished with a subtle spiciness. A wine that can develop over many years.

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.
