A crowd-pleaser that has been a favorite of Dutch kitchens for decades. A quintessential German wine, complete with its characteristic sweetness. Its sweetness is strikingly gentler and almost refreshing, so even those less inclined to sweet German wines can enjoy Klosterhof Winzerkrone. Thanks to its large bottle size—a full liter of wine—you can enjoy it for even longer.
The wines of Klosterhof Winzerkrone
Searching for this wine brings us to our beloved eastern neighbors: Germany. Despite its important role on the European continent in politics, economics, and defense, it plays only a modest role in the wine world. France, Spain, and Italy are the main players in Europe. Wine-producing countries like Portugal and Austria also make a name for themselves. Yet, Germany has had a vibrant wine culture for centuries, distinguished in part by its wide range of local grape varieties.
Klosterhof Winzerkrone is one such gem, perfectly capturing the distinctive character of German wines. It originates from vineyards in Rheinhessen, a large wine region located northwest of Mannheim, the medium-sized city just south of Frankfurt am Main. Rheinhessen plays a significant role in German winemaking. With a whopping 26,500 hectares of vineyards, it is the largest wine region in Germany.
Impressions of Klosterhof Winzerkrone
For Winzerkrone, the winemaker at Klosterhof selected three grape varieties that thrive in the Rheinhessen vineyards. Rieslaner, Riesling, and Weissburgunder bring out the best in each other. The flavor and aroma are exceptionally exuberant. Think of overripe tropical fruit with a subtle hint of apricot. Despite its sweet character, Klosterhof Winzerkrone remains fresh and invigorating, ensuring the sweetness never becomes too heavy, making it a truly enjoyable experience for everyone.
