Product information

Gut Hermannsberg - Kupfergrube Riesling Grosses Gewächs GG dry 2015

1. winery and location

The Gut Hermannsberg estate in the Nahe region (formerly the Royal Prussian Winegrowing Domain) cultivates some of the best vineyards in the region. The Kupfergrubeis one of the most renowned single vineyard sites on the Niederhäuser Kreuzberg, known for its volcanic and copper-bearing soil layers (slate, porphyry, melaphyre), which lend the wine a special minerality and complexity.

2. wine characteristics of the 2015 vintage

The 2015 vintage on the Nahe was an outstanding year, characterised by a warm, sunny summer with sufficient rainfall, which led to ripe, concentrated grapes with a good acid structure.

Sensory description:

Colour: Light gold with pale green reflections
Nose: Intense and multi-layered with aromas of ripe yellow peach, mirabelle plum, grapefruit and a clear minerality (damp slate, flint). Light notes of herbs and a smoky, spicy component.
Palate: Powerful yet elegant. The acidity is lively and carries the dense fruit (apricot, citrus) perfectly. Clear mineral core, salty note on the finish. The texture is dense and yet springy with a noticeable but finely integrated alcohol warmth. Long, precise finish.

3. assessment and ageing potential

The wine is a typical, high quality representative of a GG Riesling: dry, concentrated, with a distinctive character and a long finish. The 2015 Kupfergrube GG already shows a beautiful accessibility, but its structure and acidity give it great ageing potentialof 15-20 years or more. As it develops, the primary fruit flavours will probably shift towards petrol, honey and riper mineral notes.

4. drinking recommendation and food pairing

Temperature: 10-12°C
Recommended glass: Universal or Riesling glass
Excellent with:Dishes with an intense or spicy character. Ideal with grilled fish (e.g. salmon), seafood, poultry in a cream sauce, Asian dishes (Thai curry) and mature, strong cheese (e.g. mountain cheese).

5. conclusion

The Gut Hermannsberg Kupfergrube GG 2015 is an excellent, powerful yet delicate Riesling that perfectly reflects the class of the site and the quality of the vintage. It is one of the top growths of the Nahe and is recommended both for drinking now (after sufficient decanting) and for long-term storage in the collection. A wine of great depth, precision and personality.
