"The 2023 Riesling Kinheimer Rosenberg Spätlese trails with juicy apple and gentle peach. The palate is rounded and gently sweet, with subtle notes of peach and tart red apple peel. Everything feels gentle and soothing, like a caress, with a very light and fresh finish."

"From single poles on blue slate soils and vinified in stainless steel, the 2023 Kinheimer Rosenberg Riesling Spätlese opens with aromas of ripe to a little overripe, concentrated, yellow fruit intertwined with floral/herbal notes of weathered slate. Mouth-filling, very elegant and seamless in its texture, this is a delicious and light but textured Spätlese that is structured by its fine, crystalline acidity and delicate grip. It has good length and is really mouthwatering. 9% stated alcohol. Natural cork. Tasted at the domaine in January 2026."

"Floral and juicy with stacks of stone fruit plus a lively acidity this is a delightful Mosel Spatlese with well-judged grape sweetness that the citrusy freshness at the finish easily balances. Very clean finish that pulls you back for more. Drink or hold."

"A juicy riesling Kabinett with stacks of mandarin orange and nectarine with a thread of lemony acidity running through it that keeps this bright and animating. Zesty finish that™s almost dry. Drink or hold."
