Tasting notes

Bottled in early July the this year, the 2021 Kallstadter Saumagen Riesling Kabinett trocken is still young and a bit closed on the clear, deep and stony nose. Fine and very elegant on the palate, this is a round, lush, refined, firm and persistently salty Saumagen with a long and intense finish. This is a serious, sustainably intense Riesling with substance and terroir expression after a long hang-time. It needs time, though. 11.5% stated alcohol. Natural cork.

Key characteristics

About this wine

Koehler Ruprecht stands among the Pfalz region's most respected estates, renowned for producing elegant, mineral-driven Rieslings that showcase the distinctive terroir of Germany's warmest wine region. The Saumagen vineyard, with its stony, saline-rich soils, imparts a characteristic precision and complexity to their wines.

This Riesling Kabinett Trocken exemplifies the producer's philosophy: dry-styled wines of restraint and finesse, where 11.5% alcohol allows the wine's natural acidity and minerality to shine. Medium-bodied with a rounded structure, it captures the essence of cool-climate viticulture in a continental setting. The wine's stony character and elegant profile make it remarkably versatile at table.

Pair this white wine with seafood, delicate poultry preparations, and vegetable-forward cuisine. Its balanced acidity and medium body also complement lighter cheese courses and Asian-influenced dishes. An ideal selection for sophisticated entertaining in fine dining settings, private cellars, or yacht provisioning.
