Nahe QbA Kreuznacher Kauzenberg Riesling 2018 S. J. Montigny

Riesling Kreuznacher Kauzenberg is produced by the Montigny winery, a company that has been producing wine for 5 generations in Nahe, one of the smallest and most prestigious wine-growing areas in Germany, where Riesling is the king of white grapes and the best wines. The grapes of this wine come from the Kauzenberg Cru.

Once in the cellar, the grapes are de-stemmed and softly pressed, to then ferment in temperature-controlled steel vats (18 °C), where the wine is subsequently aged on the lees for 3–5 months. The wine continues ageing in the bottle for 2 months before being put on the market.

In the glass, the wine appears straw yellow in colour. The nose perceives aromas of ripe fruit and mineral and citrus notes. The sip is dry and fresh, with a pleasant fruity finish.

It goes preferably with white meats both stewed and roasted, from chicken to lamb, from pork to pheasant.
