The Frauenberg in the southern Wonnegau is located north of Hohen-Sülzen in
Towards Flörsheim at an altitude of up to 280 metres and up to 40%
The historical location was already mentioned in 1290 under the name “an
frauwenhalten” and was originally owned by
of a nunnery. HO Spanier has taken the Frauenberg from the
Oblivion has been brought back into the consciousness of wine lovers.
The exposed location of the Frauenberg gives it, despite its purely southern orientation
always cool winds, its surface consists of limestone gravel, the subsoil
is a solid limestone base. The vines have deep roots in the hard,
mineral-rich soil. This makes them self-sufficient and allows for long, healthy
Vegetation periods even in extreme years. The wines of Frauenberg
are harvested by hand after strict selection, fermented spontaneously and
Matured in single barrels. Bright straw yellow with brilliant reflections
and silver rim. Almost monolithic, the Frauenberg rests in
of youth rather a sketch than a precisely contoured self-portrait. Stony and
It is reminiscent of wet pebbles, notes of citrus, apricot kernels
and apple peels are brightened by fresh herbs such as chervil and
Cucumber peel. Summing up distinctive dark aromas and smoky
Its overtones are precise and disciplined on the palate. It builds sinewy and taut
pulsating pressure on the palate, the orchestral acidity as a leitmotif
Choreographs extract, phenolics, and minerality. Multi-layered and complex
It clearly calls for a decanter and a few years of bottle aging.
The Frauenberg is a highly mineral wine with a great affinity to the fine
Cuisine. Lobster, shellfish or sashimi as well as dishes with soy sauce
are excellent sparring partners.
