The Grand Cru Sommerberg is distinguished by its steep, south-facing slopes situated on granite and sandstone-rich soils. These soils are ideal for growing Riesling as they provide excellent drainage and allow the vine roots to penetrate deeply, resulting in intense minerality in the wine. The unique microclimate of this site, with abundant sunshine and cool nights, promotes slow and even ripening of the grapes, concentrating the aromas and giving the wine structure.
The Riesling Grand Cru Sommerberg 2022 displays a brilliant straw-yellow color with golden reflections. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied yet precise, with vibrant acidity that imparts freshness and supports the wine’s aging potential. The combination of intense fruitiness and pronounced minerality creates perfect balance and depth. This Riesling is ideal on its own or paired with refined dishes such as seafood, fish, Asian cuisine, or aged cheese.
