Dhron Hofberg Alte Reben Riesling Kabinett

Score

96

"Huge citrusy freshness and an astonishing purity make this raw diamond of a Mosel Kabinett stand out. On the tightly wound, sleek and light-bodied palate, the blood orange and garden herb aromas are striking. Extremely long finish with mountain-stream clarity. From ungrafted vines planted in the late 1940s. Drinkable now, but best from 2026."

"The 2022 Riesling Dhroner Hofberg Alte Reben Kabinett is a vision of Alphonso mango underneath a veil of yeastiness. The plate continues in this opulent, tropical vein, adding a touch of passion fruit to the mango lusciousness that provides a lovely balance. This is incredibly charming now, vivid, full-fruited but light on its feet. The finish tapers toward a juicy tangerine note that sustains its freshness. Available at auction: 600 bottles, 30 magnums.
