Kruger-Rumpf, Nahe, Munsterer Dautenpflanzer Riesling, Spatlese, 2008
October 8th, 2009 • Related • Filed Under
Nahe – a region where the wines tend to be a bit more restrained and higher in acid as opposed to overtly ripe and sweet. This wine is explosive. It’s packed full of exotic tropical fruit like papaya and banana. Its touch of sweetness cloaks a powerful streak of acidity that works almost like a net, keeping all of those flavors from seeming bawdy and overdone. I’m salivating a little just writing this.
Another huge bargain from Germany. For less than 25 bucks, you’re getting a wine that’ll destroy any misconceptions you may have about German whites. It’ll do it now, or in 6 to 8 years. Either way, this is a serious bottle of wine.
