A very juicy wine with a wealth of stone fruit aromas and flavors. I love the fantastic freshness of this very elegant, sleek, light-bodied riesling that's just off-dry enough to pull you back for more. From organically grown grapes with Fair'n Green certification. Drink or hold.

The 2024 Riesling Kreuznacher Krötenpfuhl Kabinett, right from the palateau of the stony site of gravel and quartzite, is full of lemon and floral aromas. White summer blossom seduces, wrapping itself around stony notes. Has there ever been more lightness and subtlety? This is a dream, a veil of lemony brightness. The 2024 is charm itself. (Medium)
Riesling possesses a remarkable ability to reflect the character of wherever it is grown while still maintaining its identity. A regal variety of incredible purity and precision, this versatile grape can be just as enjoyable dry or sweet, young or old, still or sparkling and can age longer than nearly any other white variety. Somm Secret—Given how difficult it is to discern the level of sweetness in a Riesling from the label, here are some clues to find the dry ones. First, look for the world “trocken.” (“Halbtrocken” or “feinherb” mean off-dry.) Also a higher abv usually indicates a drier Riesling.
