Brauneberger Juffer Kabinett
Mosel, Germany
Vintage 2017 | three favorites: the vintner, the vineyard and aged kabinett. I love this wine. First day with nasi goreng with duckbreast meat, second day with chicken in aspic and tartare sauce. Pure joy.

I think this is my first time trying a wine from the Juffer vineyard in Brauneberg, in the Mosel valley. This wine is shockingly enjoyable, a great tonic to a stressful week, with an overriding impression of salinity both on the nose and palate, as well as effusive aromas of lime and nectarines. The palate is, again, salty, with joyful harmony between fruit and acid - this leans toward the drier end of the Prädikat and, in an acidic vintage such as 2021, it provides a superbly tense, exciting riesling that’ll go well with Indian food tonight. This is up there with the finest young Kabinetts that I’ve tried.
Shame I didn’t buy more!

Vintage 2017 | tasted at the domaine after a series of dry 2022 and I was blown away! At home retasted with chicken in jelly/aspic as starter. Same feeling. Beautiful slate minerals in smell, butter, creamy, and a delightful vibrant sweet expression. Love this (and it is not a great year)!
