Since 2021, we have bottled only one cask separately from the Morschberg as a GG (Grosses Gewächs) – the rest goes into the Geheimrat J. A Burgundian-esque nose with a distinct oak influence, but everything is of the highest quality; nothing is superfluous, as the Morschberg brings a great deal of structure and tension to the glass. It has great potential, which you can feel immediately, and is certainly a wine to convert those who are intimidated by Riesling. 93 points, Cup of the Gourmet Worlds. Location & Terroir: The uppermost, steepest plot in the VDP.GROSSE LAGE KLÄUSERWEG has long been close to our hearts. Here, the grapes ripen at their finest and retain their youthful acidity well into October. At 150 meters, the slope faces south at a 40% gradient. This vineyard was first mentioned in 1292. Until the 1970s, this part of the Kläuserweg was known as MORSCHBERG, but it was lost during land consolidation. After 50 years, the Wegeler winery applied for and received approval for this steep vineyard to be designated an independent VDP.GROSSE LAGE (Grand Cru) site. With over one hectare, Wegeler owns what is essentially the prime piece of the prime Morschberg vineyard. The Riesling vines were planted in 1979 and are now at the perfect age to produce the finest Rheingau Riesling. Terroir: The subsoil consists of Taunus quartzite with a calcareous loess loam layer.
