Weingut Jakob Jung Erbach Steinmorgen Spatburgunder Trocken 2020

Jakob Jung stands for the tipicity of Rheingau Rieslings – light, racy, playful with will-integrated, fine acidity. The winery has been a family property since 1799, in the middle of the Rheingau, in the middle of Erbach, and stands for accessible, quality wines with complexity without being tiresome

The early family generations have not only been cultivating wine, but also other groceries. This changed, when Ludwig Jung took over in 1969, who transformed the mixed-food business into a sole winery. Today, it is run by Alexander Johannes Jung.

The vineyards cover ten hectares of vineyards in the single vineyard sites Hohenrain, Marcobrunn, Michelmark, Siegelsberg and Steinmorgen (Erbach), as well as Sandgrub (Kiedrich). They are planted with the varieties Riesling (82%), Pinot Noir, Pinot Blanc, Chardonnay and Gewrztraminer. The vineyards are cultivated in a natural way with permanent cover crop, no herbicides and minimised plant protection, and winemaking is typically done with long lees contact for their Rieslings
