2024 Donnhoff - Kreunacher Krotenpfuhl Kabinett (750ml)

Pure, effortless, and dangerously easy to drink — this is German Riesling at its most joyful and seductive. Falstaff awarded the 2024 Krötenpfuhl Kabinett 92 Points, praising its spicy herbs on the nose and beautiful balance of fine sweetness and bright acidity. Yves Beck awarded 94 Points, calling the bouquet expressive and vibrant — a wine that delights with intense fruit and freshness, whose gentle attack underscores its charm, supported by a structure that lends it temperament.  

The Krötenpfuhl vineyard sits on a cool plateau within the town of Bad Kreuznach, its loess loam soils notable for a high share of gravelly quartzite — warm soils with early flowering that produce small berries with delicate aromas, lively acidity, and a long hang time. At a featherlight 9% alcohol, this is Kabinett as it was meant to be — pale and luminous, with tart peach, lemon, and a whisper of flinty minerality on the nose, leading to a palate that is gently sweet, juicy, and electrifyingly fresh, with a mouthwatering finish that simply won't let you put the glass down. One of the world's great wine bargains, from one of the Nahe's most celebrated estates.
