Leonard Kreusch Zeller Schwarze Katz

The vineyards in and around the village of Zell form the Grosslage [vineyard] Zeller Schwarze Katz. The world renowned black cat label has its origins dating back to the middle of the 18th century.

As legend has it, upon the conclusion of a tasting of the wines from a cellar located in the eponymous village of Zell, a territorial black cat leapt upon one of the barrels to dissuade a prospective merchant from buying the wine from the winemaker, which in turn, prompted the merchant to select the wine from that particular barrel.

Fresh and fruity with soft fragrant aromas and hints of citrus, green apple, pear and honeydew melon. This Riesling – Müller-Thurgau blend is delightfully crisp and medium-bodied, with a long, pleasantly sweet finish accented with a touch of mineral in the finish.
