Tasting Notes

Erdener Treppchen

2014 - Erdener Treppchen Riesling Spätlese
Great exotic and berry fruit notes, wonderful slate minerality and racy acidity. Drinks so good!

Elisenberg

2017 - Elisenberg Riesling Kabinett
The #maxferdrichter #elisenberg #2017 is just the perfect example for what a Kabi should stand for. Racy, fresh acidity that will not let you feel the residual sugar. The nose fruity with yellow apples, citrus peel, lemon balm. Fresh palate with perfect fruit-acidity-balance, great minerality underlay and mouthwatering finish. A good Kabi disappears from the glas in no time – just like this one does! Cheers! 

2006 - Veldenzer Elisenberg Riesling Auslese **
Ripe fruit nose with candied figs and pineapples, ripe mango and dried plums, raisins, herbal and spicy. On the palate dense and creamy, ripe fruit, straight acidity, dried fruits and orange peel. Finishes everlasting. A bomb!

Brauneberger Juffer

2017 - Brauneberger Juffer Riesling Kabinett
The nose is a juicy mix of ripe peaches, apricots and great slate minerality, melon, honey, nice floral elements. On the palate fresh acidity that meets a deep and juicy fruit basket, citrus notes, grapefruits peel, melon again, yellow stone fruits, nice minerality with fresh spices. Finishes mouthwatering and fruity with a great mix of candied citrus and grapefruit peel. Very delicious! 

Helenenkloster

2017 - Helenenkloster Riesling Spätlese
The Helenenkloster is quite famous because the winery very often makes a fantastic #icewine #eiswein from this vineyard. But also the Spätlese is very delicious. The nose is herbal-fresh with green and yellow apples, citrus and grapefruit notes, still slightly yeasty. On the palate smooth and fruity, lots of yellow apples again, slightly salty from the minerality, fresh floating acidity that defines a greatly balanced fruity finish. A perfect Riesling wine! 

1994 - Helenenkloster Riesling Eiswein
Great taste of caramel, licorice, smoky, like a good sherry in the nose, fruit notes of cherry, tangerine and mirabelle, quite heavy in sweetness.

Mühlheimer Sonnenlay

2017 - Mühlheimer Sonnenlay Alte Reben Riesling feinherb
The nose is fresh and spicy with a nice mix of fruits like apples, some peach, some pear and citrus fruits, also floral and herbal notes. On the palate spices lead the way to a nice fruit-acidity-balance, quite dense, very straight, very mouthwatering. Finishes quite racy, inviting to take the next sip.
