Mosel Riesling Tasting Case

The Juffer Kabinett comes with a playful nose, smelling of May herbs, apricot, greengage and filigree slate minerality. The Juffer Kabinett is also youthfully playful on the palate but with a clear expression. Honeydew melon, yellow peach and grapey nuances lead to a mineral finish. Everything is in perfect balance. The acid structure is sparkling clean and encourages the next sip. The combination of clear fruit and minerality gives the wine its animating freshness and lightness. The perfect Riesling to accompany Asian or Indian cuisine, or whoever dares - to a good piece of grilled meat!

The Felsenfest is already a house number in itself, and that also in the 2020 vintage. Ninety percent of the grapes come from the Trabacher Schloßberg, a vineyard site that is classified in its tradition as a Grand Cru site. In the bouquet, which is still strongly influenced by the spontaneous fermentation, only rock flour and slate spice can be perceived at the moment. Superficial fruit is completely dispensed with here. The palate is flawless and straightforward with perfect mineral definition. The racy, almost wild acidity gives Felsenfest a steely and firmly determined character. A concise and style-defining Riesling in typical Vollenweider manner.

The off-dry Riesling from the Pfarrgarten shows beautiful fruity notes of lychee and peach on the nose. On the palate, elegant and intense in play. Shows juice and fruit but no saturating opulence. The acidity is lively and present, the restrained sweetness seems coherent and is integrated in a refined way. A prototype of a fine off-dry Mosel Riesling. Drinks well with Asian bowls or grilled seafood.

The Ellergub Kabinett presents itself in the nose very clear and cool, with fruity, almost flowery aromas. In the fragrance very playful with scents of violet, orange blossom and lavender. On the palate precise, crystal clear and radiant with classic transparency and lightness. The salty slate mineral adheres and is magnificently surrounded by an orangey acidity. A large Kabinett of subtle delicacy, sublime elegance and perfect precision. An absolute masterpiece!

Winemaker Gernot Hain is one of the best in his guild. This is once again proven by his off-dry Goldtröpfchen Kabinett vintage 2020. Hardly any fruit on the nose, but instead delicately smoky flint and a fine herbal fragrance of meadow herbs and white blossoms. Pure race on the palate, wild and free like the sea and at the same time calm and deeply resting in itself. The sweetness has a perfect salty-mineral underlay and fits perfectly with the taut texture. Shows beautiful length in the game, seems clear and elegantly made, with a fine spicy herbal touch in the finish.

The Berncasteler Doctor Kabinett is a Riesling of crystal clear radiance. Still somewhat reductive, it shows itself in the smoky fragrance already with animating exotic fruit and clear mineral and floral notes. On the palate it is then a polished, cool and sweet fruit with some red-berry nuances and herbaceous aromas. The fine ripe acidity gives the cabinet a great balance. The noble juice shows a lot of race and an enormous powerful depth. Extremely elegant style - has real class!
