Riesling Geisenheimer Rothenburg Erstes Gewachs
A top site for Riesling where the Schumann’s own 2.35 acres of vines, produces small volumes of powerful and structured Rieslings. More powerful than the Kabinett with tropical fruit and slight toastiness, again minerality and freshness on the long finish.

Schumann Nagler
Schumann Nagler are one of the oldest estates in our portfolio having made wine for the last 575 years! At the helm is Fred and wife Ulrike Schumann with son David, the winemaker since 2003. Their other son Philipp looks after the commercial end of the business. The Schumann’s work the vineyards organically without certification and their vines are planted in some of the best sites in the Rheingau – like Hattenheimer Wisselbrunnen and Geisenheimer Rothenberg. Above all this is Riesling land – it thrives here at altitude and on the loam, slate and shale soils giving a purity of fruit and minerality to the wines.
