The Riesling "Kaiton" by Kuenhof is a white wine made from grapes sourced from vineyards located on terraces at 550-700 m above sea level and aged in barrel. Fruity, floral, and with a hydrocarbon hint on the nose. Incisive, mineral, savory, and round on the palate

The Riesling "Kaiton" by Kuenhof is a wine that recalls in its name the old Celtic appellation used to identify the area where the ancient farmhouse stands. A wine definitely to try and to have in the cellar as Peter Plieger has a sought-after production of bottles with considerable cult status. A Riesling of character!
The vineyards, from which the grapes that will give birth to this wine come, are arranged on terraces between 550 and 700 meters above sea level. The alcoholic fermentation takes place in steel containers using only indigenous yeasts. The aging is planned for a period of several months in large oak barrels.
The Riesling "Kaiton" is golden yellow in color. On the nose, the hydrocarbon sensation emerges sharply, but it is quickly followed by citrus notes, aromatic and spicy herbs, denoting a climbing but composed character. Sharp on the palate, with an aromatic and fresh structure. An extraordinary saltiness and Minerality contrasts with its light and straight drinkability, during which the olfactory notes previously perceived return. A wine of undeniable personality. The screw cap will not be an excuse to store the wine again in a protected place, as it will finish first!
