2021 Riesling “R” Kabinett

2021 Riesling "R" Kabinett

2021 Riesling “R” Kabinett, August Kesseler, Rheingau, Germany. Kesseler is a vintner of high renown in the region of the Rhine valley, producing Riesling and Pinot Noir. This Kabinett is a typical “Kabi”, it appears semisweet due to the rather high level of acidity, even though it has 30 gr residual sugar and one would think this is “sweet”.

The 2021 Riesling “R” Kabinett is a very pleasant, easy-drinking wine (the French would call it a “Glou Glou”). Refreshing, light. Great drinking pleasure. Straw color. In the nose, white and yellow fruit – lemon, apple, pear, white peach. Nice mineral notes (firestone). On the palate, the wine comes across as semisweet, with high and refreshing but pleasant acidity that really compensates much of the residual sugar. Reasonably long finish. Great wine that comes at a very reasonable price. TBM 89 points.

2015 Erbacher Steinmorgen Erste Lage

2015 Erbacher Steinmorgen Erste Lage

2015 Erbacher Steinmorgen Erste Lage, Baron Knyphausen. This is truly a Premier Cru from the Rheingau region. The Baron Knyphausen family took over the winery in 1818. The winery was originally founded by the monks of the Eberbach cloister, in 1141. Frederik Baron Knyphausen is now at the helm of the family business. He is working on constantly improving the quality, and for two years now, the winery is in conversion to organic viticulture and winemaking.

Straw colour. In the nose, complex aromas of citric fruit, hints of peach. Petrol notes, typical for a somewhat matured Riesling. On the palate, the wine is dry (1.6 g residual sugar), with a crispy acidity – and yet the wine has a round and velvety mouthfeel. Very long finish. The 2015 Erbacher Steinmorgen Erste Lage is really a wonderful Riesling.

TBM 93 points.
