Pure Joy
The nose is florality with some stony minerality and herbs
The palate starts with honeysuckle nectar and white flowers. The fruit is the usual riesling mix of apples and pears that veer toward peach and stone fruits on the sweet and lengthy finish

That’s the story of this kabinett riesling but also of the 2019 German riesling vintage overall. So much deliciousness from start to finish. Midpalates are plump with precise flavors. Properly ripe fruit with enough florality and balancing acidity to make them tasty & elegant. It’s hard to find a complaint

Elegant, piquant, and beautiful. After all the difficulties of the 2017 vintage in Mosel, this turned out beautifully. The sugar level is on the high side for Kabinett, but the acidity is gripping, and it all balances out. Fantastic effort here!
