Georg Naegele Winery: Nestled Near Hambach Castle

Weingut Georg Naegele is located in the enchanting village of Hambach, right at the foot of the historic Hambach Castle, a site significant to German democracy. This picturesque village lies in the heart of the Pfalz wine region, known for its mild Mediterranean climate, which creates ideal conditions for viticulture.

For over 200 years, Weingut Georg Naegele has been crafting exceptional wines on its stunning Baroque estate, complete with a romantic courtyard.

A Legacy of Winemaking Since 1796

Owned by the Naegele-Bonnet family since 1796, the winery spans 15 hectares of vineyards, supplemented by grapes from local growers. The estate focuses on a variety of grapes, including Riesling, Weißburgunder, Spätburgunder, Dornfelder, Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Gewürztraminer, Rieslaner, Silvaner, and Müller-Thurgau. These grapes flourish in two distinct areas: the Roman Wall and the Castle Slopes. The Roman Wall features deep, rich soil that supports red grape varieties, while the Castle Slopes are known for producing top-quality Rieslings in weathered sandstone soils.

Meticulous Winemaking Practices

The southeastern slopes of the vineyards receive ample sunlight, allowing grapes to ripen fully until late October. The winemakers at Weingut Georg Naegele prioritize preserving the quality of the grapes from vineyard to cellar. Each stage of the production process is handled with care, resulting in wines that are flavorful, full-bodied, and unique in character, with excellent aging potential.

We went wine tasting with friends at the Nägele winery on March 19, 2022. The boss herself presented us with a selection of wines, all of which were very tasty and all of which met our taste. I was particularly impressed by the Pinot Gris Am Heidengraben and the Riesling Hambacher Kirchenberg, both from 2020. During the tasting there was a lot of information about and about the winery. Thank you again for the lovely afternoon.

I went to a wine tasting with my wife and friends on Saturday, June 20, 2020, and the wines I tried were good to drink, ;-) no, I meant they tasted good. The boss also gave a very good introduction, with good knowledge and humor! The Naegele winery is a century-old business, but it's not dusty and keeps up with the times of good wines. It's not for nothing that many of their wines receive GOLD. Keep up the good work!

Today we opened a bottle of Rose extra dry sparkling wine from the 2012 vintage for our 60th wedding anniversary - super quality, absolutely clear, great taste, no signs of "age" from the sparkling wine, just from the happy couple!

I actually didn't want to write a review, I just wanted to see how you can NOT give this winery five stars... I noticed Dirk Michel's review / 1 star... 1 star because he couldn't buy wine outside of opening hours on Sundays ... What kind of world we live in, where everyone takes themselves so seriously. Therefore here: Nägele has been my favorite winery for years. All wines are good, most VERY good. The semi-dry Riesling in the liter bottle is the best for mixing an excellent Riesling spritzer. The atmosphere on the farm is great, especially during events. The staff is always friendly and the online shop is exemplary. It's a pleasure to buy the wine there instead of in the supermarket - where it can also be purchased in NW. However, they are completely closed on Sundays. :-)

A beautiful town, or rather a village. I was sent there by my father-in-law. This is his childhood home; he and his parents were sent there to work there during the Second World War. From the stories and memories, it doesn't seem like it was forced labor. They had a good time there. But it's a beautiful place with a castle hill. I felt like I had been there before (my father-in-law's stories). I would never have gone there, but I saw a beautiful, unchanged town.

We are very satisfied. We have bought wine and sparkling wine here several times. It was easy to follow the explanations and understand what the winemaker's intentions were and why this or that wine is like that. I found that very interesting and I was pleased that Mr. Nägele took the time. We were always treated with respect and kindness. I can also get over the fact that no one falls on my neck with joy to see me and immediately offers me the “you” because I want to buy five or six boxes of wine. ^^ We and our friends particularly liked the sparkling wine. Ultimately, wine is always a matter of taste, which is why I am very surprised at some of the “pitchy” comments here. In my opinion it doesn't have much to do with expertise, but rather with pomposity. We think the wine is good without exception. You can taste most of the wines and still know what you are taking home with you. For us, the Nägele winery is and remains our first choice.
