About the wine
Kruger Rumpf, Zweistrom Riesling 2022. Zweistrom (two streams) is the result of the meeting of two of Germany’s classic wine regions – Nahe and Rheinhessen. And the two rivers Nahe and Rhine. Standing on the highest point of Kruger Rumpf’s fields in Nahe and looking out over the area, the eye follows the Nahe River as it joins the Rhine to the north. From here you can see the Rheingau to the north, and to the west on the opposite bank of the Nahe lies Rheinhessen, with the large and mythical Große Lage mark Scharlachberg near the town of Bingen. This area has been home to great wines since Roman times and where Kruger Rumpf – in the days before various wine laws made it “illegal” to mix the different wine regions – harvested grapes on both sides of the Nahe River. The wine made from grapes harvested in both Nahe and Rheinhessen was highly recognized by Kruger Rumpf and has won many awards in the past. In this “Zweistrom” area, slate and quartz vines stand in stunningly situated fields. Kruger Rumpf, Zweistrom Riesling 2022 is made from grapes from Kruger Rumpf’s best fields in both areas and fermented in large barrels. You get the flinty, wet slatey and citrusy purity of the slatey fields in Nahe, and the deep minerality and power of the quartz on the Scharlachberg in Rheinhessen. Two areas in one wine – therefore “only” classified as Deutscher Landwein.
