Koehler-Ruprecht Kallstadter ‘Saumagen’ Riesling Kabinett Trocken 2021 Review
This single-vineyard wine comes from the Saumagen vineyard, which was planted in the early 19th century in Germany’s renowned Pfalz region. The site is situated on limestone soils that were once used as a quarry by the Romans. It has a subtle herby nose with wonderful hints of thyme, rosemary, and spearmint. You can also detect some creaminess and a whisper of butterscotch. The palate is good and grippy with active mineral-driven acidity that's balanced by mild fruit depth.
