ABOUT THIS WINE
The Kröver Paradies Riesling Feinherb is a white wine from the Mosel region of Germany, produced by Weingut Staffelter Hof. This historic estate, one of the oldest in the world, is now run by the 7th generation of the Klein family, who have transitioned it to certified organic practices. The wine is made from 100% Riesling grapes grown in the 'Paradies' single vineyard in Kröv. Uniquely for the Mosel, this vineyard is characterized by limestone and clay soils, rather than the typical slate. This combination of ancient heritage, modern organic farming, and distinctive terroir sets this wine apart.

WINE MAKING PROCESS
The Kröver Paradies Riesling Feinherb is produced by Weingut Staffelter Hof using 100% Riesling grapes. The winemaking philosophy emphasizes organic and minimal-intervention practices. Grapes are fermented in stainless steel tanks, often with native yeasts, and without malolactic fermentation to preserve freshness and acidity. A small amount of sulfur is typically added for stability. The focus is on capturing the distinct character of the 'Paradies' vineyard's limestone and clay soils, resulting in a vibrant and expressive white wine.
