Description
Dönnhoff's Krötenpfuhl Riesling Großes Gewächs was born in a renowned wine-growing area in Kreuznach, in the Nahe region. The vineyard is divided into two main sections: a plateau and a relatively steep south-facing slope. Thanks to the climate and pebble-rich soil, this area is particularly suitable for the cultivation of high-quality Riesling, without drought problems even in hot years.
The winemaking follows traditional methods, with refinement in double barrels. This technique allows us to enhance the peculiar characteristics of the terroir, maintaining rigorous management due to the presence of a well which imposes stringent cultivation regulations. The result is a Riesling of great finesse and precision, reflecting the microclimate and soil composition of the vineyard.
The Krötenpfuhl Riesling presents a complex and immediately perceptible bouquet, characterized by aromas of pineapple, star fruit, melon and prickly pear, with a delicate spiciness. On the palate, the wine stands out for its compact structure and concentration of flavors, offering a mineral and dry sensation that persists for a long time.
This Riesling is perfect to enjoy straight away but will reach its peak after 5-7 years, with good aging potential. It pairs wonderfully with fish dishes, shellfish and fresh cheeses.
