2019 Dönnhoff Kreuznacher Krötenpfuhl Riesling Kabinett
Dönnhoff
The loess loam soil of the Krötenpfuhl vineyard is notable for its high share of gravelly quarzite. Between the stony ground and its southern aspect, this neighbour to the Kahlenberg is known for warm soils and early flowering of the vines year after year. The loess loam substrate retains water well, ensuring the vines have sufficient moisture even in drought years. Vines growing in this type of pebbly soil tend to produce small berries with delicate aromas, a lively acidity and long hangtime.
The Kabinett is an elegant off-dry Riesling, artfully balancing distinctive herbal spice notes with a vivacious clarion acidity. - Cornelius Dönnhoff

Prototypical Kabinett with a light body, effusive red apples, then a long, mineral finish. Did somebody say this was an off-dry wine? Yes, but the balance makes it extremely food-friendly. From organically grown grapes with Fair'n Green certification. Drink now. Screw cap.

From very pebbly loess soils, the 2019 Riesling Kabinett Kreuznacher Krötenpfuhl is bright and sulfured on the precise, elegant and refined nose. Round and elegant on the refined palate, this is a very accessible Kabinett with flesh and texture and almost a Spätlese character. Pleasantly salty on the intense and persistent finish. Tasted as a sample in Bremen, April 2020.
