ABOUT THIS WINE
The Vom Vulkan Gut Hermannsberg Schlossböckelheimer Riesling Trocken is a dry white wine from the Nahe region of Germany, specifically from the VDP.GROSSE LAGE vineyard Schlossböckelheimer Felsenberg. This vineyard is characterized by its steep, south-facing slopes and volcanic soils, which contribute to the wine's distinctive minerality, as suggested by the 'Vom Vulkan' (From the Volcano) designation. Gut Hermannsberg, a historic estate dating back to 1902, is dedicated to restoring its reputation by focusing on its unique vineyard sites. Winemaker Karsten Peter champions a philosophy of minimal intervention and sustainability. The 2022 vintage was marked by a hot and dry summer, yet the wines exhibit notable freshness due to opportune rainfall before harvest.
