Hammelmann’s Schlossberg and Schlossberg-Terrassen are sourced from sites around twenty minutes north and west of Zeiskam, more into the Haart hills. This is the more traditional landscape of Pfalz Riesling. The Schlossberg-Terrassen is a very special wine, sourced from ungrafted vines nearly 100 years old. These terraces are higher up in the hills and had been abandoned in the last decades; they must be worked by hand… and no one wanted to do this hand-labor anymore. At one time there were nearly 100 hectares of these terraces – today there are two hectares left. Hammelmann farms about 50% of these remaining sites. He once wrote to me: “Working in the terraces is exhausting; I love it.” The reward, however, is that these are rare ungrafted vines in the Pfalz. The wine has powerful aromatics, and is denser and darker than most Hammelmann’s.
