White peach, mineral, some spicy notes? / racy, clean, crisp and light on the palate - balanced acidity

Yaaaas! Golden pears, peaches, apricots, baked apple and flowering honeysuckle & jasmine. All that fruit & floral, with that signature German petrol and clean minerality. Touch more RS than expected, finish is glossy, rich and multi dimensional. Cheers!

Solid stone fruit and honeysuckle and tiptoeing towards the edge of being all about the fruit until the mid-palate shows up just in time with acid to the recuse. Not incredibly crisp, more soft that clean, a well rounded wine nonetheless.

Very delicate off-dry. Mineral, tropical fruit, tart lime finish.

Youthful & green, white peach, green apple, wet stones, & wet wool. Palate gets sweeter & riper. Yellow peaches, enjoyable acid, & an everlasting finish. Yum!

Wow! This wine has layers on layers. Honeysuckle, apricots, peaches, jasmine and mint. Acid is firm and structured, with a little RS to round it out. Tingles, dances and transforms on the palate.

Wow, so ripe and juicy for a Kabinett! Sweet citrus notes, beautiful acidity with great balance. So pretty now.
