Weingut In den Zehn Morgen Riesling Krötenpfuhl

Ten months on the fine lees, hand-harvested, gently pressed — the Krötenpfuhl shows what the Nahe site in Bad Kreuznach can make of Riesling: a precise, lively white wine with backbone.

The Weingut In den Zehn Morgen grows its Riesling grapes in the single vineyard Auf dem Krötenpfuhl in Bad Kreuznach. Temperature-controlled fermentation in stainless steel tanks keeps the fruit clear and direct, and the subsequent fine lees aging for ten months gives the wine texture and depth.

In the glass, the Riesling presents itself with lemon, lime, and fresh herbs, underscored by a spicy, slightly salty minerality. On the palate, a taut acid structure carries the aroma profile — not a soft charmer, but a wine with a clear line and a long, dry finish.
