Goedhuis, August 2023
This south-facing vineyard is rich in small quartzite pebbles. The grapes remain small due to this gravelly soil, giving beautifully herbal, spicy aromas matched by a piquant, salty acidity and quivering tension. This is perfect as an aperitif, at the start of a meal, or in the wee hours to freshen weary palates.

Vinous, August 2023
The 2022 Riesling Kreuznacher Krötenpfuhl Kabinett is from a site with many pebbles and aquifers, which explains the name that refers to the moisture-loving toads. Despite the pebbly soil, the vines root deeply and have access to water. A slight spiciness plays on the lemony citrus nose. The rounded palate displays tea leaf hints with a lovely sweetness and beautiful herbal tisane notes. The 2022 finishes not sweet but medium, down to the 9 g/l of acidity. Drink 2023-2035.

Dönnhoff is one the best producers in all of Germany and the estate is arguably the most famous outside of the Mosel valley. The family domaine dates from 1750 and is comprised of 28-hectares in the Nahe, a region located southeast of the Mosel. Its climate unexpectedly evokes the Mediterranean, and its soils are comparable to the Mosel with the addition of clay, though not as steep. The combination of these 2 elements seems to give the best of both worlds - the focus and minerality of the Mosel as well as the fleshy fruit of Germany's warmer regions. The vines have been passed on from father to son to grandson and now the fourth generation holds the reins. Cornelius Dönnhoff took over from his father Helmut in 2007 after 8 years of training. Cornelius continues his father's natural (and perfectionsit) winemaking philiopshy, producing wines of extraordinary power, concentration and complexity. Spellbinding and thought-provoking, they are worth discovering.Read less
Region
Nahe
Nahe is located to the south east of the Mosel. Its climate unexpectedly evokes the Mediterranean, and its slate soils are comparable to the Mosel with the addition of clay, though not as steep. The combination of these two elements seems to give the best of both worlds - the focus and minerality of the Mosel as well as the fleshy fruit of Germany's warmer regions.
