Products & Services
Weingut am Nil winery cultivates 3.8 hectares of Riesling and Pinot Noir vines in the historic Saumagen vineyard in Kallstadt. The unique terroir of Saumagen produces wines that are voluminous and rich in extract. This is where powerful, mineral-rich and long-lasting wines are created, characterised by exotic fruit notes.
Weingut am Nil owns one hectare in the Weilberg vineyard, which is planted with Riesling. Even more than the favourable exposure of the site, it is the unique soil quality that gives the wines harvested here their special character. Rieslings with opulent fullness and piquant fruit notes thrive here.
The Riesling vines in the Ungstein Herrenberg vineyard are over 30 years old and enjoy plenty of sunshine thanks to their sheltered hillside location. The high loess loam and limestone content creates a challenging terroir, which is reflected in the aroma and palate. The wines are delicately fruity, agile and particularly characterful with their high minerality.
The Steinacker vineyard stretches across the Kallstadt hills and borders the winery. This vineyard, with its shell limestone-rich soil, together with other vineyards in the Kallstadt district, forms the basis for our local wines as well as the Kallstadt Riesling, Kallstadt Sauvignon Blanc and Kallstadt Chardonnay.
2019 Kallstadter Saumagen Spätburgunder
The glass reveals all the magic that Pinot Noir is capable of, with its deep dark colour and ruby reflections.
The nose reveals playful smoky notes and complex aromas of sour cherry, plum and subtle raspberry, harmoniously creating a mys-terious play of aromas.
The mouthfeel is dynamic with a powerful stature and charismatic spice, which lingers in the memory with soft, supple tannins and a highly elegant finish.
2021 Ungsteiner Herrenberg Riesling
Our Herrenberg Riesling impresses with its delicate golden yellow colour.
The delicate Riesling bouquet is reminiscent of freshly picked lemons and local stone fruit aromas. Ripe, acidic apple and crispy Williams pear carry the aroma of this wine.
The taste lives up to the promise of the nose: on the palate, the wine presents a radiant acidity with a refreshing ripe citrus note.
The mineral Riesling delights with its complexity and long-lasting finish. The Riesling "Ungsteiner Herrenberg" is a reliable companion in our portfolio.
Matured 100% in stainless steel tanks, with gripping acidity and low residual sugar, it is recommended as a soloist and with creamy dishes.
2021 Ungsteiner Weilberg Riesling
The 2021 Ungsteiner WEILBERG Riesling shows an intense yellow shade with delicate golden hues.
The nose develops a distinctive Riesling aroma due to a subtle scent of local fruits such as apricot and pear, as well as other garden herbs that accompany the Riesling without overpowering it.
Compact and creamy, as well as balanced by a typical but yet restrained Riesling acidity, the wine, which is partially aged in wood, also has a cool freshness in its bouquet.
2022 Kallstadter Saumagen Riesling
The 2022 Kallstadter SAUMAGEN Riesling presents itself with a light straw-yellow colour and golden reflections.
With aromas of quince and apricot, combined with a subtle floral scent, the wine nestles pleasantly on the tongue thanks to its light acidity. A subtle scent of vanilla forms a harmonious framework around the wine.
Aging in large wooden barrels gives the SAUMAGEN a potential for maturation and a special depth.
The crisp acidity and low residual sugar create a drinking flow that is second to none.
An elegant wine that impresses with its aromatics and light acidity, which combine to create a balanced overall picture.
2024 Kallstadter Chardonnay
The Chardonnay from Kallstadt shows shimmering gold reflexes in light yellow.
The intense Chardonnay bouquet offeres, in addition to aromas of pear and yellow mirabelle, finely integrated hints of bourbon vanilla and herbs.
The taste harmonizes with the smell in a symbiotic way. The wine presents fine citrus fruit on the tongue paired with an elegant melt that was shaped by the wood aging.
In the finish, the Chardonnay leaves a long-lasting, spicy aftertaste. The body is carried by its invigorating acidity.
