Based in Oberemmel, Weingut von Hovel is an old family owned estate dating back to the 12th century, when it was a monastic property and the monks constructed the property and the cellar. The current owner, the von Kunow family acquired the estate back in 1806 from Napoleon, and the seventh generation max has taken over the reins from his father Eberhard when the latter had a major stroke in 2010.
The estate is famous for wines from their solely owned vineyard Oberemmeler Hutte, but I had just discovered their Scharzhofberg (above), which is a fine wine. Golden straw with a sweet acid peachy minerally nose, the palate was full of sweet stone notes,well support by a sweet acid backbone.
