Gut Hermannsberg & friends - Stuart Pigott presents
GUT HERMANNSBERG MEETS BEAUMONT (#LOVE Live Online VErkostung, i.e. wine tasting in German with Stuart Pigott at 6pm German time on Easter Saturday, 11.04.2020 on the Gut Hermannsberg Facebook page)
The first day of picking was the 18th September. Earlier than expected we began with the Weisser Burgunder (Pinot Blanc) grapes for the base wine for our sparkling Blanc de Blancs Sekt.
The rain at the beginning of the ripening process in August (perfect timing) and continuing warm weather in August and September pushed the development of the grapes along. Very good ripeness, ideal acidity structure and perfectly clean grapes made us hungry for more.
STUART PIGOTT, THE RIESLING AMBASSADOR OF GUT HERMANNSBERG VISITS FEINKOST KÄFER IN MUNICH
DEAR FRIENDS OF RIESLING FROM MUNICH AND ENVIRONS, ON THE 15.10.2019 STUART PIGOTT WILL VISIT FEINKOST KÄFER FOR A SPECIAL WINE TASTING EVENING PRESENTED WITH AN EXCEPTIONAL GOURMET MENU IN THE KÄFER BISTRO, MUNICH
Although 2018 vintage at Gut Hermannsberg (GHB) was exceptional in every sense, it is nonetheless a perfect example of how the estate’s philosophy actually works.
FROM THE VIEWPOINT OF A WINEMAKER THE GROWING SEASON OF 2018 COULD HARDLY HAVE BEEN MORE EXTREME. THERE WAS SUCH A GREAT SUMMER AND IT LASTED SO LONG! HISTORY TEACHES THAT IN SUCH YEARS, FOR EXAMPLE 1959 AND 1976, THE RIESLINGS FROM THIS PART OF THE NAHE SHINE. AND THAT#S HOW IT IS ONCE AGAIN IN 2018!
