  Pale yellow gold. Fresh apples, slight citrus. Good acidity. Well balanced. Good long finish. Great food wine

  Utterly delicious, electric lemonade. Off dry but acid RIPS. Backwards but starting to turn around.
  Revisit in 2025.

  The palate of this wine has brilliant minerality, remarkably clean fruit with crystalline acidity

  Stony all the way, and finishes nearly dry - just like magic. The faintest hint of cork, but still outstanding.

  8,5% alcohol. Tasted blind among 46 other 2017 Riesling Kabinetts in Kabinett Cup 2017.
  
  Limpid, almost completely colorless whitish-green appearance. Restrained and quite closed nose with subtly nuanced aromas of some apple blossom, a little bit of lemon juice and a hint of chalk dust. The wine is fruity, somewhat crisp and medium-sweet-ish on the palate with medium body and flavors of pear marmalade, some stone dust, a little bit of flinty smoky tones, light apple jam notes, a hint of saline minerality and a touch of tart pomelo. The high acidity lends good intensity and sense of balance to the wine. The finish is crisp, youthful and acid-driven with long, fruit-driven flavors of tart lemony citrus fruits, some tangy green apples, a little bit of candied pear drops and a hint of saline minerality.
  
  A nice, youthful and fruit-driven Kabinett. Nothing particularly memorable, but nothing to complain here either. Perhaps the wine will gain more depth and complexity with age. It scored a total of 4 points from the 12 judges, making it finish in 26th place out of 46 wines.
