Product Description
This classic Mosel Kabinett is harvested from higher-elevation parcels owned by Dr. Loosen in the villages of Bernkastel, Graach and Wehlen. The wine is bright and pure with the vibrant white peach fruit and a floral, flinty minerality that is so typical from blue slate. A plush attack on the mid-palate leads to a deliciously firm, delicate finish. This wine makes an elegant aperitif and is an excellent match for seafood, spicy Asian cuisine and lighter dishes
wine score
90 points Wine Enthusiast
"Zaps of lemon-lime acidity and spicy, smoky earth tones elevate this bright citrusy Riesling. Off dry in style, it offers tart, tangy lemon and white-grapefruit flavors edged by a honeyed sweetness. The finish is brisk and invigorating.”
