About the wine

Kruger Rumpf, Dautenpflänzer Riesling Spätlese 2017. Old-school Spätlese on Riesling – it doesn’t get much better than that! Riesling can combine sweetness and acidity in an amazing symbiosis like no other grape, with just 8% alcohol. A delicate, exotic sweetness with hints of papaya, pineapple and a sparkling clean and creamy citrus freshness makes this Spätlese easy to enjoy with or without food. Dautenpflänzer is a fantastically situated Grosse Lage (Grand Cru). It sits like a small amphitheater in the middle of the Kapellenberg field, where vines planted back in the 1960s penetrate deep into a soil filled with quartzite and phyllite schist. The field faces south-southeast and is well protected from the wind. This means that Dautenpflänzer always has a warm microclimate. The grapes are harvested by hand at the exact moment of ripeness when the color changes from deep yellow to orange. The sugar content is high, but so is the acidity level and the wine ultimately emerges from the interplay of these two components. Fermented in large barrels and then aged in steel tanks

Producers

Wine production at Kruger Rumpf can be traced back to the early 1700s. We are located in the northern part of Nahe, in the triangle between Nahe, Rheingau and Rheinhessen. Today, the winery is run by the young Georg Rumpf, who took over in 2007 and has brought the house into the top league of German wine. Since 1993, Kruger Rumpf has been a member of VDP (Verband Deutscher Prädikatsweingüter), which is an association of Germany’s quality-oriented wineries with the right to use GG and 1G field designations. Wine is currently grown on 56 hectares and all according to organic principles. The largest part of the vineyards are located in Nahe with plots on fantastic Große Lage sites such as Pitterberg, Burgberg and Dautenflänzer and of course Große Lage Scharlachberg in Rheinhessen. Riesling accounts for the majority of the plantings, but Weissburgunder, Grauburgunder and Spätburgunder are also grown. Georg Rumpf has a philosophy of as little intervention as possible – both in the field and in the cellar. The goal is to produce wines with elegance and “trink-freude” – the desire for another glass. Slate, loess and quartz are the typical soil types and all Kruger-Rumpf wines have a clear and pure minerality, a good balance between richness and fruitiness, clear grape character and a long ageing potential.
