James Suckling
A very juicy riesling Kabinett with a very fresh pink grapefruit acidity that gives this fantastic drive and energy, the natural grape sweetness pushed way into the background. Mouthwatering freshness at the very long finish.

This year, the 2022 Riesling Nahesteiner Kabinett was harvested in Dorsheim and Burg Layen exclusively on sites classified as Erste and Grosse Lage. The nose sprays with vivid apple and citrus freshness. Grapefruit tempers green and yellow apple aromas. The palate is rounded and light. It carries vivid white-fleshed fruit at its core, laced with ripe lemon. The finish is juicy and lasting. Residual sweetness sits just above 40 g/l. (Medium)
Riesling possesses a remarkable ability to reflect the character of wherever it is grown while still maintaining its identity. A regal variety of incredible purity and precision, this versatile grape can be just as enjoyable dry or sweet, young or old, still or sparkling and can age longer than nearly any other white variety. Somm Secret—Given how difficult it is to discern the level of sweetness in a Riesling from the label, here are some clues to find the dry ones. First, look for the world “trocken.” (“Halbtrocken” or “feinherb” mean off-dry.) Also a higher abv usually indicates a drier Riesling.
