Donnhoff Kreuznacher Krotenpfuhl Riesling Kabinett
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 a long hang time.
Elegant off-dry Riesling balancing notable spice aromatics with a clarion and refined acidity.
Producer Profile
If you are fortunate enough to visit Dönnhoff estate and taste wines with Helmut and Cornelius Dönnhoff, to watch Helmut is a good way to identify the quality of the wine other than the brilliance on the palate. If he is pleased with the wine there is a twinkle in his eye and a modest almost indiscernible smile crosses his lips. There is no doubt that as Cornelius steps into his father’s shoes the estate will maintain its position as one of the finest and most followed in Germany.
