Producer description of "Weingut Georg Naegele - Schloßbergkellerei"

The winery is located in the municipality of Neustadt-Hambach (Mittelhaardt/Deutsche Weinstraße area) in the German wine-growing region of In old times it was a (upper tithe cellar), since 1796 it has been family-owned. Today it is run by Eva and Ralf Bonnet, the seventh generation of the family, who are assisted by seniors Volker and Gerda Bonnet. The vineyards cover 14 hectares of vines in the single vineyard sites Römerbrunnen and Schlossberg (Hambach). They are planted with the white wine varieties Riesling (35% of the area), Silvaner, Kerner, Scheurebe, Chardonnay, Pinot Blanc, Pinot Gris, Rieslaner and Gewürztraminer, as well as with the red wine varieties Pinot Noir, Domina, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Dornfelder. In addition, grapes from selected vineyards are purchased from friendly winegrowers.

Depending on the type of wine, temperature-controlled, controlled fermentation is followed by ageing in stainless steel, in large wooden barrels or in barriques for 9 to 24 months, with longer yeast storage for the young wines if necessary. Bottle-fermented sparkling wines are also produced. Since the 2008 vintage, the wines of the closely related "Alfred Bonnet" winery from Friedelsheim have also been vinified in the Hambach winery.
