Description

Germany / Nahe

The insider tip from the Nahe is one of the very large wineries in Germany - the Chardonnay 500 was bottled exclusively for the Collectors Wine World and is officially not for sale. The 6th generation of the Korrell family has been cultivating a top location on the Nahe since 1832: THE PARADISE - where warm shell limestone soils produce unique, full-bodied wines with elegant, mineral fruit. At the heart of this location are old Chardonnay vines. In the 2020 vintage, Martin Korrell filled two 500 tonneau wooden barrels with his best grapes. Only 999 numbered bottles were released after nine months of barrel aging!

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.
