Neumer Wine Estate, Rheinhessen

At the Neumer winery in the hills of Rheinhessen, not far from the Rhine terraces near Nierstein, Hubertus Weinmann and his wife Lucia have devoted themselves above all to Burgundy grape varieties. Their soils and the mild climate provide ideal conditions for aromatic, structured Pinot Blanc, Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. To develop the vines' potential to the full, they have even recruited a cellar master from Burgundy to help shape the wines in autumn. Their sophisticated cellar work also benefits the estate's two other flagship wines: the Riesling is exceptionally pure and nuanced, while the Dornfelder is deep red, fruity and balanced.
