Mosel Riesling Tasting Case

The Riesling Kabinett was the premier class in 2018. Cooler locations like the Wintricher Geierslay are the winners of the hot and dry vintage. The grapes for the Geierslay Kabinett were taken from the vine with an honest 79° Oechsel and fermented cool in stainless steel tanks. The nose seduces with floral and floral notes in play with aromas of quince, mirabelle and pear. The wine has a wonderful delicacy and playfulness. A strikingly impressive Riesling Kabinett! Chapeau for the gentlemen Steinmetz and Hermann.

The Sonnenlay Zeppelin wine from Mülheim has a beautiful nose of grapefruit, lime, green apple, meadow herbs and slate stone, and the idyllic terroir of Sonnenlay presents itself on the palate with rich and mouth filling fruit aromas of pear, apple and citrus fruits. In style balanced and refreshing with elegant fruit sweetness and great length. When the airship "Graf Zeppelin" took off on its first world flight on August 15, 1929, the Mülheimer Sonnenlay Riesling was also on board and became the most drunk wine on all the voyages of the "Graf Zeppelin".

The Pfarrgarten is really the former garden of the rectory in Dhron. The soils are somewhat richer and juicier and are heavily mixed with loess loam. So the Pfarrgarten Riesling is also richer than the "Guts"-Riesling from the A.J. Adam winery. The nose is expressive with candied citrus fruit and flowers in the foreground. But also apple and slate nuances conquer the nose. The refreshing crisp taste is dominated by lime and green apple, embedded in a very delicate sweetness. Much fun on its own but served cold, this wine is a dream to accompany spicy chicken dishes.

Great freshness, crisp acidity, very elegant with a slight melting.

With his Gutsriesling, Daniel Vollenweider sets the bar quite high. The nose offers delicate aromas of pear, quince, star fruit, herbs and fine spices. Typical for Vollenweider: the light spontaneous touch, the lively saltiness and the incredible stony minerality. Already the Riesling Felsenfest shows the puristic and powerful nature of the Vollenweider wines. With its very own style, almost bursting with inner tension, the Felsenfest is certainly one of the best Gutswein in its guild!
