From vineyard to bottle

The origin, grapes and craftsmanship behind this wine.

The Dr. Crusius Riesling Traisen Vom Fels is a prime example of the harmony between terroir and craftsmanship that characterizes Dr. Crusius wines. Sourced from the Rotenfels vineyard in the Nahe region, this wine benefits from a soil rich in rhyolite with a porphyritic structure, resulting in a unique mineral intensity. The vineyard's location at the foot of an imposing rock massif not only offers spectacular views but also contributes to the special microclimatic conditions in which these Riesling grapes thrive. The interaction between the sandy and stony clay soils and the volcanic rock results in a Riesling that embodies the refreshing coolness yet the ripe power of the Nahe region, with which the Dr. Crusius winery has enchanted wine lovers for generations.

The pale yellow Dr. Crusius Riesling Traisen Vom Fels reveals a rich aroma of mandarin and lemon, seamlessly transitioning into subtle notes of flint and herbs. This complex nose is a direct reflection of the volcanic origins of the soil and the careful vinification process, in which the grapes are fermented at a controlled temperature in stainless steel tanks. This technique preserves the vibrant fruit aromas and enhances the wine's intrinsic mineral characteristics, creating a bouquet that is both inviting and challenging. The fragrant undertones of flowers and herbs add an extra dimension that stimulates the senses and invites a deeper exploration of the flavors.

On the palate, the Riesling Traisen Vom Fels offers a powerful balance between vibrant fruit and penetrating minerality. The refined, crisp acidity harmonizes perfectly with the long finish, giving this Riesling exceptional structure and depth. This makes the wine not only a wonderful solo drinker but also an excellent companion to dishes such as mussels steamed in the same Riesling. This combination emphasizes both the wine's versatility and gastronomic quality. Serve at 8-10°C to fully develop all its subtle nuances, and enjoy a wine that, with its fresh, clear character and deep, lingering minerality, reflects the essence of Nahe.

De jaargang 2023 in de Nahe was over het algemeen goed, met wijnen die een mooie balans tussen rijp fruit en levendige zuren vertonen. Ondanks enkele uitdagingen tijdens het groeiseizoen, resulteerde het in expressieve en karaktervolle Rieslings.
