Göttelmann
Nahe
With its 4,200 ha (10,300 acres), the Nahe is one of Germany’s smaller regions, yet one of the most interesting thanks to its geological diversity. The vineyards stretch from the southern edge of the Rhenish slate mountains into the Nahe’s romantic side valleys marked by bizarre rock formations and lush, green hills. The Hunsr.ck Hills afford the vines protection from cold winds and excessive rainfall. In all, Rieslings as well as red and white Pinots thrive in the well-balanced climate.
Quartzite and slate predominate in the lower Nahe; porphyry, melaphyre, and coloured sandstone in the central valley, including weathered sandstone, loess, and loam near Bad Kreuznach; and slate, quartzite, and sandstone in the upper Nahe. From these diverse soils come brilliant, longlived wines with a fine spiciness, fruit, and lasting mineral tones. All that has made German wine famous can be tasted in the Nahe.
