The Krötenpfuhl vineyard—its name translates to 'toad pond'—sits on volcanic slate creating wines of distinctive character. Dönnhoff's Kabinett style provides slight sweetness and lower alcohol (around 10%), making this an ideal aperitif or food wine. At one year old, this 2024 vintage shows young primary fruit character with the piercing minerality that characterizes Nahe's volcanic slate soils. The Kabinett category, once a staple of German wine culture, deserves rediscovery—these wines offer balance and refreshment often lost in modern winemaking's pursuit of dryness. For those seeking something different from conventional dry Rieslings, this wine opens new possibilities.

"The 2024 Riesling Kreuznacher Krötenpfuhl Kabinett, right from the palateau of the stony site of gravel and quartzite, is full of lemon and floral aromas. White summer blossom seduces, wrapping itself around stony notes. Has there ever been more lightness and subtlety? This is a dream, a veil of lemony brightness. The 2024 is charm itself." —Anne Krebiehl, MW

"The 2024 Krötenpfuhl GG Kreuznacher Riesling is fragrant yet dense, complex and stony on the nose, with ripe, juicy fruit aromas. Generous and quite powerful but also firmly structured and "mineral" on the palate, the 2024 is still quite sharp and citrusy on the dense, racy finish and still needs to find its feet." —Stephan Reinhardt

WINE GUIDES

German Wines

Is there a better grape than Riesling? Is there a better value? Its fruit purity, its perfume, and its mineral nuance are all unparalleled. And for centuries, the top German Rieslings were priced accordingly: at least as expensive as the top red wines of Bordeaux and Burgundy. But nowadays you could spend a lifetime exploring Germany’s great Riesling-producing regions while staying well within your budget. You might take an occasional break to try Germany’s other white grapes or perhaps a glass of Spätburgunder (the local name for Pinot Noir). It’s time to get started!
