The friendliest door into one of Germany's great traditionalist cellars. This is Koehler-Ruprecht's village Riesling, blended from plots across Kallstadt—including, this vintage, a little declassified Saumagen fruit—and raised the old way in big neutral casks. 'Kabinett Trocken' here is the estate's house code for dry, but this one is dry-not-bone-dry: the roundest, most approachable wine in the dry lineup, all limestone drive softened by a welcoming mid-palate. It delivers a real taste of Kallstadt terroir without asking you to cellar it for a decade. Uncomplicated in the best sense, and built for a weeknight.

"The 2023 Riesling Kallstadter Kabinett trocken was picked in the four usual sites of Steinacker, Annaberg, Kreidkeller and Saumagen. Subtlety defines the nose this year, opening into clementine and mandarin peel aromas. The palate is light and mild but it has a honeyed edge with a supple tang of chalkiness." —Anne Krebiehl, MW

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.

Roast pork, choucroute, grilled trout, or a soft, tangy goat cheese.

Dry and light-bodied, with lemon, green apple, and a chalky, savory finish. Round and approachable—not austere.

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!
