Revoluzzer Jungfer 2021, Bibo Runge, Rheingau

A harmonious marriage of intense Riesling aromas and spicy wood. The nose has aromas of lemon zest, pineapple and ripe apple, combined with toast and lavender. On the palate, the wine is intense and rich with melting, well-integrated acidity and a long finish.

Markus and his wife, Monika, took over the Bibo Runge winery in the Rheingau in 2017 and have continued to follow their long-standing passion, focusing on aroma-intensive wines that are superbly crafted. 

Their philosophy of “good wine needs time” shines through in the wine process: hand-picked grapes from the old vines in Hallgarten, long maceration time, gentle pressing and slow ageing in wooden barrels is their foundation for top quality wines bursting with aromas. 

The mantra of slowness and patience comes through in their drive for sustainability. Since 2001, Bibo Runge are certified members of FAIR’N GREEN and are one of the wineries with the smallest CO2 footprint. 

Only hand-picked and pre-selected grapes from old vines in the prestigious Jungfer vineyard are used. The grapes are left for 48 hours of flavour extraction before being gently pressed in a French basket press. They are spontaneously fermented and aged for 24 months in oak barrels.
