Elegant, precise and wonderfully expressive, Peter Jakob Kühn 'Quarzit' Riesling Trocken is a beautifully crafted dry Riesling from Germany's renowned Rheingau region. Named after the quartzite-rich soils that influence its distinctive character, this wine offers vibrant aromas of ripe green apple, white peach and citrus zest, complemented by delicate floral notes and a subtle stony minerality. The palate is wonderfully focused, combining juicy orchard fruit with lively acidity, a fine mineral texture and impressive depth. Bone dry yet beautifully balanced, it finishes long, refreshing and remarkably pure. A sophisticated expression of German Riesling, it pairs exceptionally well with oysters, grilled fish, shellfish, sushi, Asian-inspired dishes, roast pork and fresh goat's cheese.

Riesling (100%)

One of the world’s great white grape varieties, prized for its aromatic intensity, high acidity and ability to reflect terroir. Typically showing citrus, orchard fruit and floral notes, it can range from bone dry to sweet, though the finest dry styles combine freshness, minerality and exceptional ageing potential.

RheingauSituated along the River Rhine in western Germany, the Rheingau is one of the country's most prestigious wine regions and a historic centre of Riesling production.

The region benefits from a distinctive geographical setting, where the Rhine flows predominantly from east to west, creating favourable south-facing vineyard slopes that capture warmth and sunlight.

Its diverse soils, including quartzite, slate, loess and clay, contribute to the remarkable variety of Riesling styles produced throughout the region.

Quartzite-rich vineyards are particularly associated with wines of pronounced freshness, fine mineral texture and elegant structure.

The combination of moderate temperatures, extended ripening periods and excellent vineyard exposures allows Riesling to develop aromatic complexity while retaining its characteristic vibrant acidity.
