Description

A Riesling with well-defined, spicy fruit, very elegant with a wonderful balance between fine fruit sweetness and firm acidity. Alcohol 9% vol.

Kabinett Riesling is arguably one of the world's most underrated wine styles. Delicious in youth but with a structural capacity to age for decades.

Enjoy as a delicious aperitif, alongside seafood, or with aromatic Thai or Chinese cusiines.

The Leistenberg vineyard lies in a small side valley of the Nahe just outside Oberhausen. The name is a double play on words. "Leisten" means "achieve" in German, and the Leistenberg perpetually lives up to its name. "Lei" is also a regional word for slate, and these warm, decomposed clay slate soils and steep terraced hillsides provide ideal conditions for Riesling to thrive. The southeast-facing slope basks in the morning sun, which dries out any excess moisture and promotes healthy fruit. The afternoon sun is less powerful, nurturing a long ripening period and moderate alcohol levels. An ideal vineyard for Kabinett wines of high minerality and sophisticated elegance.

Steep, south-easterly facing slope with grey clay slate soil. The morning sun dries the grapes, keeping them healthy; while the afternoon sun is not so direct, allowing the grapes to ripen for a very long time without becoming overripe. A perfect vineyard for Kabinett wines!
