Black Tower Whites Other
German value whites in the famous black bottle since 1967.
The story behind Black Tower
Black Tower comes out of Bingen am Rhein, in Germany's Rheinhessen, where the Reh Kendermann winery has been working since Carl Reh founded it in 1920. The black bottle label itself launched in 1967 and has been Germany's most widely exported branded wine ever since. Grapes come from Rheinhessen and neighboring Pfalz.
The whites lean on Rivaner, the Müller-Thurgau crossing of Riesling and Madeleine Royale, plus Riesling and Pinot Grigio. Fermentation runs cold in stainless steel, no oak, no aging, bottled fresh to keep the floral nose and crisp finish intact. We have poured these for Long Island customers for three decades because they deliver real German character at a value price.
