Wine journalist Stuart Pigott once summed it up succinctly: "Paradise exists." We are talking about the wines of the exceptional winemaker Martin Korrell. Just a few years ago, the Korrell winery was a well-kept secret among wine connoisseurs. Today, winemaker Martin Korrell is a rising star on the Nahe and his wines have received numerous national and international awards.
The Korrell winery is guided by a philosophy that can be summed up in three core concepts: authentic, personable and sustainable. These principles are reflected not only in their wines, but also in their winery culture. The Korrell family strives not to pretend, but to present their wines and their personality authentically. This authenticity is evident in their classic and puristic wines, which have been carefully perfected and refined.
Korrell's philosophy can be summed up in the principle "less is more". This means concentrating on the essentials and giving the vines in the vineyard the attention they need. The focus is on Riesling, which is considered to be the grape variety that best represents Germany and the Nahe region.
A notable step for the winery was the switch to organic viticulture in 2023. This not only brought more greenery, but also significantly more manual labor. The Korrell team is grateful for the hard work of their vineyard staff, who often operate in secret and are essential to the winery's success.
The winery owner's personal favorite wine is the Riesling Paradies, which represents a deep connection to the winery's origins and its location in the heart of the Nahe Valley. For him, this wine is more than just a drink - it symbolizes gratitude and connection to the history and heritage of the Korrell winery.
