Why it matters
The producer
The Korrell family traces its history in the Nahe to Spanish ancestors who settled there in 1832. In 1967, Wilfried Korrell took over the family's mixed agricultural operation and converted it to viticulture. After succeeding his father, Martin Korrell pursued further vineyard acquisitions.
The conversion to organic viticulture has been completed, and additional single sites along the Nahe were acquired in 2021. Nearly 40 hectares are harvested each autumn, all exclusively by hand.
