Kreuznacher Krötenpfuhl:
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 neighbor 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.

"Brimming with tart-peach, ripe-gooseberry and lemon aromas, this is such a fresh and delightful Kabinett. Who could resist? Sleek and light in body with stunning freshness and purity that pulls you back for more. From the cool plateau of this site, which is within the town of Bad Kreuznach. Drink or hold. Screw cap."

"The 2023 Riesling Kreuznacher Krötenpfuhl Kabinett comes from the site's plateau of quartzite and gravel. A subtle flint on the nose still veils the lemon underneath. The palate is gently sweet and juicy, like a tart apple, edged with ripe lemon and tangerine. This light wine is absolutely mouthwatering and dangerously easy to drink. (Medium)"

"So many white flowers and so much ripe pear and white peach in the nose! But also a pronounced tarragon note. This is an extremely charming riesling Kabinett. Zesty long finish with so much positive energy. From organically grown grapes with Fair'n Green certification. Drink or hold. Screw cap."
