Description:
A classic, straightforward Kabinett with a fine slate aroma, characterized by finesse and a piquant acidity.
Our oldest location, which has been in the family for centuries, is home to the vines for our Leistenberg Kabinett. They grow on a steep southeast-facing slope with grey clay slate soil: the morning sun dries the grapes, while the afternoon sun shines less directly on them. This keeps the grapes healthy and allows them to ripen for a very long time without becoming overripe. The clay slate soil gives the wine a salty minerality that perfectly balances the subtle residual sweetness. An ideal location for Kabinett wines! (classified as Grosse Lage)
After a careful, selective hand-picking, the grapes are carefully aged in stainless steel containers and large oak barrels to create a classic residual sweet Kabinett from our winery.
Ratings & Reviews
17.5+ Points - Jancis Robinson:
"Delicate flowers and cooling spice, apricot stone and appley goodness. Citrus purity over an elegantly astringent core. Thrilling balance of sweetness and acidity, moving the needle ever so slightly in the direction of racy. Elegant and weightless." - Paula Sidore ( Apr 2024)
