Origin

The Kallstadter Saumagen vineyard is one of the most famous Riesling terroirs in the Pfalz region. Limestone soils and a warm, yet well-ventilated microclimate ensure powerful, long-lasting, and mineral-driven wines.

Winemaking

Food Pairings

Ideal with grilled fish, veal, or poultry in light sauces. Also excellent with Asian dishes or aged cheese.

Vintage Characteristics in the Region

The 2022 vintage was characterized by heat and drought, yet it yielded concentrated, aromatically clear Rieslings with moderate acidity.

Conclusion

A classic Saumagen Riesling that combines power, minerality, and precision. The Koehler-Ruprecht 2022 shows great aging potential and distinctive elegance.
