Schmitt Sohne Bernkasteler Bingen Riesling Kabinett 2001

From the fantastic 2001 vintage, this wine is produced from fully ripened grapes and exhibits elegance and full-bodied fruit characteristics with a perfectly balanced finish. Goes well with richer foods, Asian dishes, cheeses, or by itself.

These wines are from the Bereich (district) of Bingen in the Rheinhessen wine-growing region that is bordered on the west by the Nahe River and on the north and east by the Rhine River. Each of the 13 wine growing regions in Germany are divided into districts comprised of many wine growing villages and usually takes its name from the best known of these villages. The village of Bingen is located on the Rhine River, directly opposite Rüdesheim, and enjoys a moderate climate with warm summers and mild winters.
