Kabinett Riesling Trocken 2015
A traditional Kabinett Riesling, this wine comes from perfectly ripe grapes hand-harvested in the Pauls Valley, a sub-valley of the Mosel River. With layers of nuance in the glass – spanning fruit, floral, and mineral tones – this Kabinett always gains delicious complexity over time.
