justerini & brooks tasting note

Produced from 30 year old vines, the Niederberg Trocken 1G is all about delicacy, there is nothing showy here. Cool in style with a little grip and austerity, beams of fresh acidity give this a pure, drinkable feel. Niederberg is the extension of the hillside adjoining Halenberg with the same blue slate and quartzite soils. The difference lies in its steepness (being 40 degrees vs Halenberg’s 70 degrees). Fermented and matured in traditional German fuders, same as the GGs.
