Chardonnay grown on chalk in the Pfalz, raised in old neutral oak by one of Germany's great traditionalist houses—this is Chablis-lover bait from an unexpected zip code. Koehler-Ruprecht, in the village of Kallstadt, has been making bone-dry wines since long before dry was fashionable, aging everything in big old casks that add texture without a whiff of vanilla. The fruit here comes off the limestone-and-sandstone Annaberg site, and the 'Kabinett Trocken' on the label is the estate's own house shorthand for a dry, lighter-framed bottling—not a sweet wine. The result is crisp, mineral, and honest, an everyday white with more soul than its modest station suggests.

More about Koehler-Ruprecht

The Pfalz is ground zero for dry German Riesling's but it is also home to some of its more diverse soil types, grapes and styles of wines. Koehler-Ruprecht is known for broad, rich and minerally Rieslings, Pinots and Chardonnays sourced from three locations in Kallstadt.

Their collection of vineyards is unrivaled. The 750-yr-old Steinacker or "stony acre" which practically surrounds the village is a very rugged, gravelly sandstone and lœss mix on top of a limestone floor, home to Pinot varieties and the estate's fruity Kabinett Riesling. The 120-year-old Annaberg rife with limestone and their legendary Scheurebe planted circa 1960!

The crown jewel of the estate is the 200+year-old Saumagen (loess, marl, and limestone) with some of the greatest, most long-lived dry Rieslings in Germany are born here.

All wines are spontaneously fermented on their own yeasts and aged entirely in large, neutral stück (1200L oval casks) and halbstück (600L). No chaptalization, no enzymes, and no manipulations of any kind are practiced here.

These wines are decidedly old-school, age-worthy, they force you to stop and think, but are truly delicious.

Tasting Notes & Food Pairings

Perfect Pairings

Roast chicken, sole meunière, a wedge of Comté, or oysters on the half shell.

Tasting Profile

Dry and light-to-medium bodied, with green apple, citrus, and a chalky, mineral finish. Clean and refreshing, no oaky sweetness.

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!
