Goswin Kranz Riesling Kabinett Alte Reben Weingut Goswin Kranz

Vibrierender, mineralischer Riesling aus unseren ältesten Weinbergen in Wintrich – eine wahre Riesling Essenz mit feiner Frucht und rassiger Säure !!
The 2017er Riesling Kabinett Alte Reben was harvested at 83° Oechsle from 60 year-old vines in the Wintricher Grosser Herrgott and fermented dow n to off-dry levels (20 g/l of residual sugar). This offers a rather shy nose made of residual scents from spontaneous fermentation, grapefruit,
apple, pear, mirabelle, a hint of pineapple and a lot of herbal and spicy elements as well as a whiff of volatile acidity (which blows away with air).
The w ine is quite sharp and structured on the comparatively slender palate and leaves a rather vibrant and not yet fully integrated feel in the long and juicy finish. The after-taste proves nicely fruity as creamy vineyard peach rounds off the flavors. This delicately exotic and almost dry -tasting Kabinett w ill need a few years to develop its balance. It could then prove quite attractive in its direct yet focused style, and could w ell even gain in quality. 2022-2032 88+ Punkte Mosel Fine Wine #43
