Winery Dönnhoff Kreuznacher Krötenpfuhl Riesling Kabinett 2020

"Even the Nahe can make Kabi!' seems to shout from the glass when you first smell it. And indeed, with the 2020 Krötenpfuhl, Dönnhoff, otherwise famed for his dry Grand Cru wines, has produced an exemplary Kabinett. It doesn't always have to be Mosel. The Nahe has also mastered the finely elegant interplay of sweetness and acidity. A good water supply - as the name of the site suggests - and a slate soil interspersed with quartzite gravel characterise the steep slope, which not only produces an outstanding Großes Gewächs, but also this Kabinett, which is characterised by citrusy fruit notes and a fine herbal spiciness. Riesling par excellence with a pleasingly light 9% alcohol.
