Weingut Bergdolt – Reif & Nett

Germany

Another member of the avant-garde group of talented, visionary German winemakers, Christian Nett represents the fifth generation in this small family estate located in the heart of the Pfalz. Due to its almost Mediterranean climate, this wine region also produces many exotic fruits that are normally not associated with Germany. The family vineyards are cultivated with the utmost respect for the environment, avoiding the use of harmful herbicides and pesticides. Only the best and healthiest grapes are selected to produce the estate wines. We came across this grower in a restaurant in downtown Frankfurt, near the financial district, featuring international cuisine made fresh each day from local produce and meats. Christian’s wines came highly recommended by the restaurant’s owner, and it proved to be a great recommendation indeed. A subsequent visit to the winery and meeting with Christian confirmed the initial impression.

Wines

Nett Tradition Scheurebe Trocken · Profile

The Scheurebe was created in 1916 by Dr. Scheu who at that time was the Director of a grape breeding institute in Germany. He crossed Riesling with an unknown wild wine for the purpose of developing a superior version of Silvaner, with more aroma and greater resistance to frost. When properly cultivated by reducing yields, Scheurebe can deliver nice aromatic, dry wines. Christian’s wine displays wonderful aromas of citrus and white currants, balanced by a refreshing acidity. A lower alcohol content compared to other dry white wines makes it a refreshing summer beverage.

This wine works well with summer and fruit salads. Very enjoyable with shrimp cocktails and Cajun shrimp. Savoury crêpes and Toast Hawaii will also benefit from the company of this easy drinking white wine.

A beautiful introduction to the style of Riesling found in the Pfalz with its Mediterranean-like climate. Elevated exclusively in stainless steel, Christian’s aim is to emphasize the inviting and intriguing aromas of this grape along with its singular minerality and acidity. The wine has depth without compromising its elegance. Refreshing and delightful.

Nett Tradition Riesling Trocken · Pairing

A great accompaniment to the rustic dishes that are typical for the Pfalz such as pork belly with sauerkraut or liver dumplings. It enjoys the company of Flammkuchen and Quiche from the neighbouring region Alsace. It elevates simple dishes like dark rye bread with liver sausage and mustard.

 

Nett Edition Gewürztraminer Trocken · Profile

In order to craft a harmonious dry Gewürztraminer it requires skill and vision. Christian succeeded with his dry interpretation of this very eccentric and aromatic grape variety. A beautiful nose of rose petals, ripe yellow fruit, and pear with elegance and smooth acidity. A dry Gewürztraminer that is a testament to the skill of the grower. It delivers all the exotic notes that we associate with this grape variety while inviting us to enjoy another glass with its clean and refreshing finish. Remarkable.

Nett Edition Gewürztraminer Trocken · Pairing

A cheese lover’s dream – Beemster, Gouda, Munster, and baked brie with mango chutney come to mind. Great with aromatic Thai and Indian dishes. Pineapple curry and roasted duck are great choices.

Nett Gewürztraminer Spätlese · Profile

A modern interpretation of this traditional grape variety. The aroma displays the typical exotic characteristics in an elegant and not overpowering way. The soft acidity and the elegant natural, residual sweetness result in a round, harmonious mouthfeel. The wine is balanced and the harmonious, elegant character ensure that there is no sense of saturation after the first couple of sips.

To be enjoyed as an aperitif or with foie gras. It also works well with a strong cheese like Munster and sweet and sour Asian dishes.

Nett Avantgarde Weissburgunder Trocken · Profile

A very complex Weissburgunder (Pinot Blanc) with a structure and flavour profile that are reminiscent of great Burgundy white wines. A careful elevation in 500-liter barrique on fine lees results in depth and complexity. The acidity is pronounced and well integrated, delivering an overall great harmony and a wine with an elegant, long finish.

This complex white wine is surprisingly well suited to accompany flavourful and often rich dishes such as saltimbocca, pasta and truffles, beef wellington, meat fondues with spicy sauces and elegant gratins.

Nett Edition Pinot Noir · Profile

Following an open vat initial fermentation, the malolactic fermentation of this Pinot Noir takes place in barrique. The tannins are ripe and well-integrated, offering a great backdrop to the pronounced red and black berry flavours and aromas. A delicious Pinot Noir and a great example as to why Germany is one of the world’s leading growing regions for this noble grape variety.
