Ripe and exotic wine with dried peaches, lemon curd, apricots and beeswax character. It’s full-bodied with density and layering to the fruit, which turns to candlewax and licorice at the finish. Fascinating dry white. Drink or hold.

Critic tasting note: "Deep, clear nose with ripe yellow fruit, fine minerality, dark spicy notes in the background with some caramel and a hint of petrol. On the palate substance and depth without any heaviness. Nuanced with fine, taut acidity and mineral saltiness. Great presence."
Product Description:
The well-known wine merchant and critic Heiner Lobenberg says about the 2015 Kupfergrube GG Reserve: “…the acidity is concise but not hard, it guides the wine. I think in the long run this dryness, which the wine usually has, is a guarantee for the high class of this wine. It is unembellished. One of the great Rieslings from the Nahe and with uncanny reliability. 100/100.”
Thousands of hours of work were needed at the beginning of the 20th century to transform a former copper mine and rugged rocky terrain into an imposing vineyard and the view of the mighty terraces of the copper mine is unforgettable! This enormous feat of engineering and the great depth of the wines that grow here are awe-inspiring. The floors of this legendary southern exposure consist of volcanic melaphyre and give the wines a smoky note and warm spice. The Kupfergrube GG Reserve tastes as sublime as this skyward striving steep slope! The terraces of the legendary Kupfergrube site rise up in a purely south-facing direction. The Kupfergrube GG Reserve is a wine with power and depth. It does not bang on the table to draw attention to its impressive mineral presence, but slowly draws anyone who is open to it into the depths.
