Disibodenberg Wine House Raphael Gold Sauvignon Blanc by Harold Faltermeyer

Above the vineyard, the ruins of the Disibodenberg monastery rise into the sky – the place where Hildegard of Bingen once lived and worked. History is not an accessory here.

It is landscape. The Disibodenberg winery cultivates its sites in the Nahe area with a seriousness that you can feel in the glass. Clay slate, volcanic subsoil, sandstone, melaphyr – each of the four individual sites has its own character, its own voice.

The steep Montfort stores heat and provides depth. The amphitheater-like Kapellenberg towers high above the fog line. The large steep site Kloster Disibodenberg carries the centuries within it. What emerges are wines with attitude: a Riesling that is simultaneously lively and profound, a Pinot Noir with real substance. No show – just honest work in unusually old soils. If that makes you curious, you've come to the right place.
