2022 Donnhoff Kreuznacher Kahlenberg EL Riesling Trocken Caros Wines NZ

A minerally Riesling from a 'Premier Cru' single-vineyard in Kreuznacher, Germany. The Kahlenberg Erste Lage site enjoys free-draining gravelly soils on a sun-facing slope in an warmer part of the valley. The distinctive ripeness is expressed in lovely citrus as well as richer coloured fruit, harmoniously in tension with a slightly salty and wet-stone mineral acidity. A beautiful mid-level offering from another historic site, the Kahlenberg is nice value and a more generous variation on the Donnhoff themes.
