Weingut KORRELL in Bad Kreuznach-Bosenheim cultivates a fine collection of premium, organically certified vineyards along the Middle and Upper Nahe river valley.
Our organically cultivated vineyards stretch from Bosenheim near Bad Kreuznach in the east to Schlossböckelheim in the west. We are proud to work with this remarkable collection of prized microterroirs, with each parcel a proven cradle of world-class Rieslings.
Our ancestors originally came from Spain, settling in the Nahe in 1832 in what they believed was the perfect spot for the current estate.Since assuming the reins from his father, Martin Korrell has made a point of acquiring renowned vineyards.Today, this nearly unparalleled portfolio of grand Nahe sites is one of the calling cards of the estate.
Our goal is to encourage the most authentic and individual expression of terroir in the glass.Each wine spreads joy through its compelling story of place. We know where our wines come from — and where they are destined to go.
Our soils are the foundation of our success.We are fully committed to organic cultivation because we see biodiversity in our vineyards as the key to ensuring the vitality of our vines.The vines then return that respect through healthy, top-quality fruit each autumn. This positive cycle helps reinforce our commitment to sustainable preservation of our vineyards for the generations to come.
Our cultural landscape is unlike any other.Simply spend time in our vineyards and you'll immediately know what we mean.The interplay between riverbanks, wild orchards, fallow spaces, and the classic small parcels of our steep vineyard sites form a picturesque tapestry well worth celebrating.
We appreciate, and work hard, at our craft. For us, that means understanding which batches should ferment in barrel and which in steel. We've defined our style, and over decades our vineyards have shown their potential to grow grand wines capable of thrilling the world over.
Pride in our work and a good atmosphere within the team matter to us. Everyone works closely and we look out for one another — there's no other way that we could tackle the daunting task of harvest with such success. Every autumn Martin Korrell and his team bring in fruit from nearly 40 ha of vineyards, all exclusively via hand harvest.
Sustainability runs deep. We work and act with awareness of our responsibility for future generations. A consideration of the bigger picture shapes all that we do: in the vineyard, in our team, in how we approach our daily tasks, and of course in our investments.
Martin Korrell & his team lead the estate in cooperation with entrepreneur Carsten Knauer. They share a forward-focused, undeniably ambitious goal: sustainabilty in all areas of the estate.
With the growth in vineyard area and the ambition to produce ever better quality, the Korrell team grew constantly. Old hands and young interns sit at a table. Some ensure that the best possible product is delivered to the bottle and sometimes get up at 3 a.m. in the summer because there are no standard working hours in organic viticulture. The others take over as soon as the box is closed to sell the wine from Sylt to Tegernsee, from New York to Moscow to people with good taste.
But the most important thing is: everyone pulls together, because we are only strong together!
