Niederhauser Klamm Kabinett Riesling

Very peachy! Also lots of lime. Like a big squeeze of lime, and the pith too. This leans savory for me.

This bottling was reduced in volume not only directly by frost but also by Schneider having utilized some of the fruit from his “Kabinett” parcels in this year’s dry Klamm bottling. But he says he might do the same thing another year, because demand for Kabinett, indeed for sweet wine generally, continues to fall-off at his estate. Apple and pear are wreathed in honeysuckle on a fetching nose, and the palate displays correspondingly luscious fruit juiciness as well as wafting inner-mouth perfume, both reinforced by judicious sweetness. There is an impressive sense of extract-richness despite the wine’s sense of lift. A bright, zesty influx of fresh lime lends refreshment and tang to the lingering finish.

Peach, pineapple, lime zest, ginger and floral accents. Extremely fragrant bouquet with subtle hint of petrol. Loving the purity and raciness of this wine. A relatively dry Kabinett and one of the more powerful wines I’ve had from the brilliant and lovely 2016 vintage.

Touch of funky mineral, palate is bright and expansive. Nice fruit, hint of sweetness.

Jan 9th, 2018Little bit of pear/melon upfront, followed by hit on acid on the finish to balance everything out. Gateway Riesling 👌🏼
