The Kreuznacher Kahlenberg is classified as a first groth. It has a southern exponation and is located in the warmer part of the Nahe region, where the wines almost have a style like in Rheinhessen, i.e. they are a little fruitier and more charming. The gravelly clay soil further supports this character.
The Riesling vines from the Hermann Dönnhoff winery in Kahlenberg are between 25 and 40 years old, which gives the wine a good depth. The charming 2022 vintage turns this constellation into an early wine that is already quite irresistible.
James Suckling has an incredible 94/100 for the 2022 Kahlenberg Riesling, Falstaff is still at 91/100, which is worthy of honor in this price range.
