Gutsverwaltung Niederhausen-Schlossbockelheim

The State of Rheinland-Pfalz sold off its lower Nahe holdings several years ago (Rumpf and Diel were prominent beneficiaries), trimming their vineyard area to a still-large 50 acres in an effort to keep the estate financially afloat. Then, last year, a buyer and perhaps a white knight was found in the person of a wine-loving Pfalzer who had made his fortune in the produce business, Erich Maurer. "I always had such a dream, and coincidentally at that moment I had the money," explains the modest and affable Maurer, whose strategy is to retain Kurt Gabelmann's team, giving them full financial support. Results so far confirm the wisdom of this approach. My notes are for a few of the wines that stood out in their enormous range, many of them from monopole sites.
