Same legendary vineyard, one rung higher up the ripeness ladder. If the Saumagen Kabinett Trocken dances, this Spätlese Trocken strides—riper grapes off the same Roman limestone quarry, vinified just as dry but broader, denser, and more intense. Koehler-Ruprecht harvests these bunches later for extra concentration, then raises the wine naturally in old casks until it's miraculously both powerful and precise, with a heart of limestone and seemingly endless layers. This is one of the benchmark dry Rieslings of the Pfalz, firmly dry and practically vibrating with minerality. It's a twenty-five-year wine—open it now with a great meal, or bury it and forget it for a decade.

"The 2021 Riesling Kallstadter Saumagen Spätlese trocken has a touch of dried lime and grapefruit zest on the nose, joining in with the aromatic pear and lovely Reine Claude and Mirabelle skin. There is fruit, but always with something textural. The palate bears this out with a harmonious, even flow and gentle ripeness. There's a very smooth spine of ripe freshness. This is quiet and unshowy - like the entire collection, but very convincing. The finish is yeasty, delving into deep limestone." —Anne Krebiehl MW

"The 2021 Kallstadter Saumagen Riesling Spätlese trocken is deep, pure, refined and chalky on the nose that shows clear, bright and elegant fruit with a coolish-flinty character. Lush and dense as well as crystalline and persistently saline on the palate, this is an intense, sustainably structured and perfectly fruity Saumagen Spätlese with serious substance and aging capacity. There is beautiful, persistent salinity and savoriness here. A gorgeous wine to lay down for about five years. 12% stated alcohol. Natural cork. Tasted at the domaine in August 2022." —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!
