Kabinett

2008 Rheingau Riesling

The Schloss Vollrads Kabinett 2008 is a delightful white wine from the esteemed Rheingau region, known for its exceptional Rieslings. This Kabinett exhibits a light body that makes it refreshing and easy to enjoy. The acidity is bright and lively, providing a crisp backbone that complements the delicious fruit-forward profile. Aromas of ripe peach, juicy apricot, and a hint of citrus dance from the glass, leading to a palate that is both vibrant and enticing. The fruit intensity is prominent, showcasing the grape's characteristic charm, while the sweetness is well-balanced, ensuring the wine is off-dry rather than cloying. This sophisticated wine exemplifies the essence of fine German Riesling, making it a perfect choice for various occasions.

Riesling is the most famous varietal in Germany, and is made in a range of styles, from dry and steely to sweet and peachy. The wines are classified according to the region as well as how much sugar is in each wine. Aside from the aromatic Riesling, you will also find subtle, refreshing whites made from local grapes like the floral Müller-Thurgau and Silvaner. Germany also produces some increasingly excellent red wine, mostly crisp and brightly fruity Pinot Noir (locally known as Spätburgunder).
