Carl Loewen Herrenberg Riesling Kabinett 2021

One of the wine worlds great bargains, crafted from ungrafted vines of over 100 years old. Herrenberg is cool site, high and exposed to bitterly cold wines, with soils high in red slate and iron oxide. Immensely complex, with green mango, kiwi, rock melon, yellow peach, quince, cherry and fresh herbs. I don’t want to call it “light”, as there is such a richness of flavour, yet the palate is so light and crisp. Yes crisp. It’s off-dry of course, but the tension between acidy and sweetness is perfect. Long and structured, though I’m not sure anyone could cellar this, despite it’s ageworthiness. Kabinett perfection!

Brimming with orange blossom, melon and basil aromas this is a wonderfully light and charming Kabinett, in spite of the high acidity of this vintage. Excellent extract and vitality at the very precise, long finish with lovely tangerine character and minty freshness. 94 Points, James Suckling
