Paul Anheuser Riesling Kabinett Schlossbockelheimer Konigsfels
| Vintage: | 2021 |

| Description: | From the Great 2021 Vintage is this under the radar screaming value. This is a Riesling Kabinett which is lightly sweet but finishes on the drier side. Very striking in its focus and length, there is a good backbone of racy acidity. Ripe nectarine, lime and white flowers fill the palate. The Konigsfels (âKing's fields') is a single vineyard site solely owned by the Anheuser family. It sits on the upper Nahe river where it's incredibly steep rocky slopes made of porphyry (a type of igneous) rock with copper and iron-rich soil makes viticulture incredibly challenging, but very rewarding. The Anheuser's family tree dates back to the year 1627 when an Anheuser lived in Kreuznach and was known as an owner of vineyards. At the end of the 19th Century, Rudolf Anheuser extended the vineyards of the estate beyond the boundaries of the town of Bad Kreuznach. (âBad' being the designation for a spa town, it was originally famous for its saline springs, hot baths and healthy climate.) Rudolf Anheuser was the first grower in the Nahe region to start the cultivation of vineyards planted exclusively with Riesling. Rudolf's son Paul continued the family tradition, and today Rudolf and Paul (no coincidence) are the 14th generation to own and manage the estate. Pairings: A perfect match for strong Indian and Asian spiced dishes. Also fantastic with a spiced duck leg, dishes with acidic sauces, roasted vegetables and soft cheeses. This is a joy to drink and a steal at the price. |
