Dr. Crusius

Nahe Riesling: dry Grosses Gewächs and noble-sweet Beerenauslese.

Dr. Crusius produces Riesling from the Nahe region in Germany, where slate and mineral-rich soils shape wines of precision and depth. The winery's portfolio centers on dry and sweet expressions of the variety, with the Felsenberg GG and Kupfergrube GG representing its dry-style ambitions—both Grosses Gewächs designations that signal vineyard classification and ripeness. The Bastei Riesling Beerenauslese showcases the region's capacity for noble-sweet wines, where botrytis concentration yields complexity and balance. Riesling from the Nahe typically displays the variety's signature high acidity and aromatic intensity, with mineral undertones that reflect the region's geology. Wine Advocate, Wine Spectator, Decanter, Falstaff, and Wine Enthusiast have all assessed Dr. Crusius's releases.
