Dominikaner is 11th-generation winegrower Carmen von Nell-Breuning's family winery in the village of Kasel, in the Ruwer Valley (a tributary of the Mosel). The family farms seven hectares of vineyards. Kehrnagel is one of the best vineyard sites on the Ruwer. The vines here grow on deep, weathered, copper-colored slate on 40% gradiant slopes with south to southwest exposure. The slate gives wines that are mineral and powerful, enhanced here by the Spätlese ripeness level. The wine is off-dry, with excellent balancing acidity and real complexity.
