Weingut Krone
Weingut Krone operates in the Rheingau, Germany's premier region for elegant Rieslings and increasingly for refined Spätburgunder. The winery's portfolio centers on Spätburgunder—the German name for Pinot Noir—a variety that thrives in the region's steep, slate-rich vineyards and continental climate. The Rosé Brut, a sparkling expression of Spätburgunder, demonstrates the grape's versatility and aromatic potential. Juwel, also Spätburgunder-based, and the Assmannshauser Spätburgunder, sourced from one of the Rheingau's most storied vineyard sites, round out the core range. These wines have drawn assessment from Wine Advocate and Falstaff, reflecting their technical precision and regional character. Spätburgunder from the Rheingau tends toward structure and mineral tension rather than fruit-forward ripeness, a profile shaped by the region's cool growing season and limestone-inflected soils.
