Hochheimer Hofmeister Riesling Kabinett

2020 Rheingau Riesling

The Peter Velten Hochheimer Hofmeister Riesling Kabinett from the esteemed 2020 vintage showcases the charm of the Rheingau region, known for producing some of the finest Rieslings in the world. This delightful white wine is light-bodied with a crisp acidity that dances on the palate, offering a refreshing experience that is both invigorating and elegant. The fruit intensity is prominent, with luscious notes of ripe stone fruits and hints of citrus that perfectly complement its slight sweetness, making it immensely food-friendly. The soft, delicate tannins add structure without overpowering, allowing the wine's refreshing character to shine through. This Kabinett is a stellar representation of its varietal and a true joy to savor.

Rheingau

Germany's most famous wine region, the small but mighty Rheingau has built its stellar reputation on its delightfully dry Riesling. Thanks to the south-facing aspect of the Rhine Valley's slopes here—plus the shelter provided by the Taunus hills—the Rheingau's vineyards enjoy a unique mesoclimate that helps grapes ripen perfectly. As a result, these medium- to full-bodied white wines often display satisfying flavors of ripe peach. Fans of red wine should also look out for its Pinot Noir (known locally as Spätburgunder), which usually comes from vineyards near the village of Assmannhausen.
