Winemaker Notes
The Rheinberg kabinett comes entirely from the quartz dominated higher sections of the Rheinberg hill, facing southeast. Vines are around 25 years old with much of the vineyard planted in the 1990s. Harvested in the beginning of October at 70 hectoliters per hectare, the vines in Rheinberg were framed without chemical fertilizers or herbicides. Grapes are harvested, crushed directly, and fermented half in Hösch stuckfass and half in stainless steel. Fermentation is natural with no added cultured yeast. The wine is racked into stainless steel and cooled to stop fermentation, in late April, and bottled in the beginning of May.
Residual Sugar: 38 grams per Liter

COMMENTARY: The 2017 Kruger Rumpf Münsterer Rheinberg Riesling is lively, bright, and refreshing. TASTING NOTES: This wine shows up with apple, citrus, a hint of fusel in its aromas and flavors. Enjoy it with a toss of sliced chicken meat, romaine lettuce, and dried chile peppers. (Tasted: May 4, 2020, San Francisco, CA)

In the family, viniculture has been tradition since 1708. A tradition that has been cultivating in the vineyards as well as in the house which was built back in 1830. For generations, they’ve been admiring and respecting nature, because it’s her who forms the basis for the winery's daily work.
The wine obtains a distinctive character through a close to nature crop growing in the vineyard and a nature-oriented wine production. This family owned winery belongs to Germany’s best wine businesses. The “Verband Deutscher Prädikatsweingüter” (VDP) (a consortium of good wine businesses in Germany) accepted us as a member of the wine region Nahe in 1992.
For generations, it has been our claim to produce wine of highest quality.
