Niederhäuser Hermannsberg
Just under 200 meters from the VDP.GROSSE LAGE® Kupfergrube, a completely different world unfolds: the south-facing Niederhäuser Hermannsberg presents sun-drenched soils, shaped by the Ice Age.
Clay slate forms the bedrock, overlaid by a layer of loess. Over 100 years ago, melaphyre was introduced into the vineyard through mining activities. Here, grapes thrive, maturing into particularly distinctive wines with complex aromas. The Hermannsberg does not shine with overt charms; rather, it possesses a subtle finesse and dynamic strength. Confident and mindful of its strengths, it calmly gazes into the future. Through aging in our cellar, it develops its profound depth and an almost Burgundian tranquility.
