WINE DESCRIPTION

The Kupfergrube is a reserve wine released every five years, undergoing extended lees aging and an extra year of maturation, enhancing its creaminess and Burgundian character. It's cultivated using organic methods. Handpicked grapes are macerated, pressed, spontaneously fermented, and aged in wood. Winemaker Karsten Peter allows his top-quality GG more barrel aging. The Kupfergrube vineyard grows on melaphyre, once a copper mine, transformed with immense effort a century ago into terraced vineyards facing south. It's one of Gut Hermannsberg's premier sites and among Nahe's top locations, drawing many renowned winemakers. Hermannsberg dominates Kupfergrube.

The aromas are beautifully integrated and provide a sense of elegance and refinement. The palate of Gut Hermannsberg Kupfergrube GG is equally impressive. It displays a perfect balance between richness and freshness, with a medium to full body and a vibrant acidity that adds liveliness to the wine. The flavors of ripe fruits continue to shine through, accompanied by mineral undertones that reflect the unique terroir of the Kupfergrube vineyard. The finish is long and lingering, leaving a lasting impression of the wine's complexity and finesse.
