2009 DR. CRUSIUS
TRAISER ROTENFELS RIESLING SPATLESE
Just over 430 years ago, the Crusius family moved to the small town of Traiser in the Nahe. Ever since then the family have been growing grapes in this region. Since the mid-twentieth century the estate has gradually been improving the quality of the wines it produces, first under the direction of Hans Crusius, and now his son Peter. The estate’s vineyards centre around the town of Traisen, which lies on the Nahe itself, and include plots in the Bastei and Rotenfels vineyards. This Riesling is made from 100 % Rotenfels vineyard. The resulting wine is off-dry with a fresh and pure minerality, balanced with a ripe apricot, pear and finishes with a lime twist. This wine will pair beautifully with anything from grilled pork with caramelized apples to a grilled cheese sandwich to a green Thai curries. It can be enjoyed with or without a meal and will brighten anyone’s day!
