Marcus Hees

Nahe Riesling and Weissburgunder with mineral precision and unfiltered character.

Marcus Hees works in the Nahe, Germany's mineral-rich river valley, where slate and volcanic soils shape wines of precision and depth. The winery focuses on Riesling and Weissburgunder—varieties that thrive in this cool climate. The Halenberg Riesling, sourced from a distinctive vineyard site, demonstrates the region's capacity for complexity and balance. Two unfiltered expressions—the Auener Riesling and Auener Weissburgunder—preserve the textural subtlety and aromatic intensity that define the winery's approach. Wine Advocate has rated these wines, recognizing their quality. The unfiltered method allows the wines to retain their natural character, a choice that reflects a commitment to minimal intervention in the cellar.
