Dautenpflänzer
Dautenpflänzer is the “filet piece” of the Kapellenberg vineyard. The steep 40 % slope between 100 and 200 metres a.s.l. faces south-southeast in side valley of the Nahe that is protected from the west wind. The soils are quartzite and Devon slate covered with a layer of loess-loam with good water storage capacity. The main variety cultivated is Riesling. Name origin: The word “Daute” means young seedling and “Pflänzer” means planter. This leads to the assumption that young vines were once bred here.

"Great energy and juiciness, although this is barely off-dry in the riesling Spatlese context. Very elegant and pristine in spite of the ample fruit on the medium-bodied palate, where the stone fruit character is precisely delineated. Very long, silky and extremely delicate finish. From organically grown grapes. Drink or hold."

"A very classic riesling Spatlese with the combination of juicy peach and apricot fruit with elegant acidity and underlining minerality that makes this category special. With a little aeration this develops an extra layer of fruit complexity. Very long, silky finish. From organically grown grapes. Drink or hold. Screw cap."
