Jakob Schneider

Nahe Riesling specialist. Noble late-harvest wines from Niederhäuser sites.

Jakob Schneider works the Nahe region of Germany, where slate and volcanic soils shape the character of Riesling. The winery's portfolio centers on noble late-harvest expressions from the Niederhäuser vineyard sites—Klamm and Hermannshöhle—where botrytis and careful selection yield concentrated, complex wines. The Niederhäuser Klamm Riesling Eiswein and Niederhäuser Hermannshöhle Riesling Trockenbeerenauslese represent the upper reaches of the range, balancing intense sweetness with the mineral precision and acidity that define the region. An Auslese from Hermannshöhle rounds out the core offerings. These wines have been assessed by Wine Advocate, Wine Enthusiast, Wine Spectator, and Falstaff.
