Production of the Riesling feinherb - Kruger-Rumpf

The grapes for this Riesling come from selected vineyards along the Nahe. The climate is moderate, with warm days and cool nights. These temperature differences encourage the berries to ripen slowly and evenly. This gives rise to impressive aromatics that combine fruit, freshness and fine minerality.

The region’s soils are diverse: slate, quartzite, loess and sandstone are often found close together. This geological diversity shapes the wine’s character with a pronounced yet elegant minerality. The vines root deeply, allowing them to draw a broad range of aromas and nuances from the subsoil.

The Riesling grapes are selectively harvested. Only fully ripe, aromatically concentrated berries make it into the cellar. Gentle processing preserves the fine fruit aromas. Maturation in stainless-steel tanks maintains the Riesling’s clarity and freshness without the influence of wood. This keeps the focus on the grape variety’s characteristic fruit and fine acidity structure.

• Selective harvesting of ripe grapes
• Gentle pressing at low temperature
• Fermentation in temperature-controlled stainless-steel tanks
• Maturation on fine lees for greater roundness

The style of the Kruger-Rumpf winery stands for precision, elegance and fidelity to terroir. A clear philosophy prevails in the cellar: as little intervention as possible and maximum expression of the wine’s origin. The feinherb blend of natural acidity and residual sugar is created with great care. The result feels balanced and full of character.

The classic Schlegel bottle design underscores the estate’s traditional values. The screw cap (Stelvin) reliably preserves the wine’s freshness and allows for convenient handling both in everyday situations and on special occasions.
