Saturday, May 1, 2021 - Colour: clear pale lemon
Nose: clean, medium(+) intensity, primary, youthful. Lemon, lemon peel, lemon curd. Mandarin. Orange blossom. Tinned mango. Apricot, peach. Honey. Smokey, struck flint, slate.
Palate: medium sweet, medium(+) acidity, medium bodied (quite full bodied by Kabinett standards), low alcohol (9%). Medium(+) intensity, long finish. Lemon, lemon peel, lemon curd. Mandarin. Orange blossom. Tinned mango. Apricot, peach. Honey. Smokey, struck flint, slate. Lithe, lively, vital, with racy, linear, acidity. Still very young, but very drinkable. The 50g/L residual sugar is perfectly balanced by the acidity, and comes over as much as fruitiness as it does as sweetness — this is a good food wine, not a desert wine.
Conclusions: outstanding! This is a superb Riesling that’s beautiful to drink now, but could easily be cellared further.
Seal screwcap.
