The 2021 Koehler-Ruprecht Saumagen Auslese Trocken Riesling is a remarkable dry Riesling from the celebrated Kallstadter Saumagen vineyard in Germany’s Pfalz region. Produced by the historic Koehler-Ruprecht estate, this wine demonstrates the estate’s traditional approach to crafting structured, terroir-driven Rieslings, with the limestone-rich soils of Saumagen contributing depth, concentration and distinctive mineral character.
On the palate, concentrated flavours of ripe citrus, yellow stone fruit and green apple are layered with pronounced mineral notes and subtle savoury complexity. Despite its richness and intensity, vibrant acidity provides precision and balance, while the wine’s textured palate and firm structure lead to a long, dry and exceptionally persistent finish.
Ben’s Recommendation: At Wine More Cellars, this is an outstanding choice for customers seeking a serious dry Riesling with power, complexity and significant aging potential. While already impressive with decanting, it will continue to evolve beautifully over the next 15–20 years. Pairs exceptionally well with roast pork, veal, rich seafood dishes, poultry and earthy mushroom-based cuisine.
