Founded in 1200, the estate is now managed by Prince Felix zu Salm-Salm in the 32th generation. It is the oldest family-owned estate in Germany and cultivates vineyard sites on the Nahe region aswell as in Rheinhessen.
The growing season 2023 began promising with good rains which saturated the soil. Only in June/July the first heat waves struck. The blossoming was swift and the temperatures sped up the ripening. Unlike most years we had plenty of rainfall starting at the end of July and they carried on throughout the whole of August. With the picking season starting September there was a 6 week stretch of dry and warm weather. Perfect conditions to harvest ripe and great tasting grapes with intense manual selection of the best grapes. The young wines show great potential with a super balance of acidity, aroma and bodyweight.
