Gut Hermannsberg estate overlooking the valley of the Middle NaheJasper Reidel, Karsten Peter, and Achim Kirchner at Gut Hermannsberg

Gut Hermannsberg, once the "Royal Prussian Wine Estate," has majestically stood on a picturesque slope overlooking the valley of the Middle Nahe since 1902. Founded as a pure Riesling estate, it not only shaped the wine history of the Nahe region but also profoundly influenced German winemaking as a whole. After a brief period of decline in the 1990s under state management, privatization took place in 1998. However, it wasn't until 2009, when the Reidel family recognised its potential and acquired the estate, that a new era began. Renamed "Gut Hermannsberg," in reference to one of the best vineyards in the Nahe, the winery now stands once again for the highest quality and tradition. Today, Jasper Reidel, along with cellar master Karsten Peter and Achim Kirchner, leads the operation.

Committed to its heritage, the entire team of the winery rejects methods that could diminish the unique character of its wines. The cool microclimate of the Middle Nahe and the diverse soil create ideal conditions for perfect wines. The estate operates in seven individual vineyards totaling 30 hectares, all classified in the highest category VDP.GROSSE LAGE®, including legendary steep slopes such as the Kupfergrube and the Monopole vineyard Hermannsberg. The wines, characterized by exceptional minerality, radiate a unique brilliance.
