Lisa Bunn Nierstein Riesling from the Rotliegend

Red slope, old vines, stony depth: This Riesling shows what the famous Rotliegend soil in Nierstein can do — not a fruit basket, but spice and minerality.

Lisa Bunn farms steep slopes at three top Nierstein sites: Oelberg, Hipping, and Schloss Schwabsburg. The 30-year-old vines dig their roots deep into the characteristic red clay-sandstone, which gives the wine its unmistakable salinity. Harvesting is done exclusively by hand, selectively.

In the glass, the Riesling shows an unusually herb-forward profile: thyme, basil, mint — underpinned by a clear arc of acidity. On the palate, it is taut but balanced, with a long, salty-spicy finish that clearly lets the Rotliegend character shine through. The 2023 vintage was awarded 93 points by James Suckling.

The Winery

Weingut Lisa Bunn

Lisa Bunn and Bastian Strebel dared to do something special in Nierstein in 2011: a winery from scratch – with a clear attitude.

Their Rieslings grow on the Roter Hang, on deep red slate. The Pinot Noir in the limestone-rich Wintersheim. In the cellar, they work naturally: spontaneous fermentation, long skin contact, aging in wooden barrels, patience on the fine lees.

Organic cultivation on 21 hectares – not a concept, but lived everyday life. The result: wines that appear lively, complex, and full of character. Wines that have something to tell.
