Kruger-Rumpf Abtei 1937 Riesling Erstes Gewachs Trocken 2021

It’s a south facing site in Bingerbrück in Rupertsburg, the most northern, south facing site in the Nahe. It’s the same exposition as the Rheingau and quite steep. Soils here are a very particular kind of metamorphic rock called Phyllite, which is basically mica inflected slate. This soil is also present in Rauenthal in the Rheingau. Part of the vineyard was planted in 1937 and this is the section that the EL wine comes from. The rest is declassed into a wine named for the soil type.
