This could be one of the most salty and incisive dry Rieslings of the vintage. This is a village-level wine for the ages, Bone dry at just 10% alcohol and 1g of Residual Sugar
-Importer notes (Vom Boden)
The so called entry level Enderle & Moll Pinot lovingly called “Basis”: nearly 50-year-old vines planted on the two predominant soil types in Baden: colored sandstone and shell limestone. The palate has a snap of cherry and cranberry piquancy – mild tannins and pleasantly friendly.
First – how awesome to see another “Kabinett Feinherb.” What can we say; we love the genre. This is the magic of Ludes: a finely knit tapestry of flowers, minerals, spice. The wine is angelic, light-footed, soaring, nearly illuminated – the laws of gravity do not apply. This is spirit as much as liquid. A little drier and also less acid than the Kabinett Monster.
The 2023er Trarbacher Schlossberg Riesling Kabinett was made from fruit harvested at approx. 85° Oechsle and was fermented down to fruity- styled levels of residual sugar (44 g/l). It offers a superbly aromatic and attractive nose of almond cream, violet, blueberry, minty spices, and fine herbs. The wine proves nicely playful and juicy on the linear and light-weight palate. It leaves a straightforward and animating feel of refreshing fruits and citrusy elements in the nicely long and mouthwatering finish. This light, already more off-dry tasting than fully fruity, Kabinett is delicious in a fresh and direct way.

Year in and year out, this is simply one of the great Estate wines available. A swiss army knife for pairings.
