Weingut Schloss Reinhartshausen Marcobrunn
Arguably one of the best Rieslings in Germany, if not the world
This dry Riesling Grand Cru offers hints of the Marcobrunn vineyard's unique terroir, with hints of roasted hazelnuts and crème brûlée. It is a wine with great ageing potential, developing over many years to come.
The Grand Cru site where the grapes that produce this Riesling are grown is amongst the best in the world. For the cellar masters of Schloss Reinhartshausen, it is both an honour and a pleasure to be able to accompany this benchmark site.
The Marcobrunn is a slightly sloping south-facing site within the boundaries of Erbach. Its name dates to the 13th century and stems from a spring on the border between Erbach and Hattenheim. The vineyard area, which is only 6.7ha, grows Riesling grapes. Heavy loess loam and chalky marl soil with sand ensures a prefect nutrient supply and regulates the water levels during the dry periods.
The grapes for the Marcobrunn are gently presses by horizontal wooden presses, which involves intense manual labour. Schloss Reinhartshausen are said to live and breathe Riesling and it is with this wine you will find the pinnacle of their love, dedication and expertise when it comes to Riesling!
