Longuicher Herrenberg Riesling Kabinett

Longuicher Herrenberg Riesling Kabinett

Longuicher Herrenberg Riesling Kabinett

Variety: Riesling • Region: Mosel • Vineyard: Longuicher Herrenberg • Soil Type: Devonian slate • Fermentation & Élevage: Old 1200L Mosel fuder

The grapes for the Kabinett are sourced from the same Maximum Herrenberg vineyard as the iconic 1896 wines, yet a slightly younger and higher elevation section. Vines are at least 100 years old and ripen very slowly. Despite having a whispy, light body, the concentration and complexity can only be achieved through old vines.

Making a Kabinett from these vines is a commitment to tradition. Most estates would take these 100+ year old vines and make a GG style wine and charge a lot more money. Instead, he’s offering us a piece of living history, because he feels like “it’s the right thing to do” to showcase the range of Mosel Kabinett.

"Very cool and herbal, with a dense core on the light- to medium-bodied palate. Excellent minerality and wild berry character powers the long, crisp finish. It shows moderate acidity and is really dry for the category. From vines up to 100 years old. Vegan. Drink or hold."

"The 2024 Riesling Longuicher Herrenberg Kabinett was made from three parcels of old vines on red slate, all over 105 years old. Its relatively shy nose does not give away the beautifully pure, bright, tender and smooth palate. The 2024 has supple texture and a lovely 28 g/L of residual sugar that comes across as off-dry. This is bottled gentleness. Off-dry"

"Very juicy and spicy, this light-bodied, off-dry Mosel riesling has terrific peachy fruit and slatey freshness. Such a beautifully clean finish. From a high-altitude parcel with 100-year-old vines. Vegan. Drink or hold."

"The 2023 Riesling Longuicher Herrenberg Kabinett, picked from vines over 100 years old rooted in red slate, offers shy aromas of green-red apple and lemon. The palate sweeps in with citrus-balanced sweetness, pushing an orange-zest ripeness. Vivid and bright. 33 g/L of residual sweetness."

"This outstand­ing Kabinett offers a drier profile while retaining the vibrant fruit and floral character of its siblings. Well-crafted and balanced, it showcases bright acidity that enhances its refreshing quality. The fin­ish is long and elegant. Skurnik Wines, Inc. —A.Z."

"It's hard to resist the warm peach fruit and baking spice aromas of this succulent Kabinett. However, on the palate this has an exciting twist of cassis freshness. Excellent vitality. From up to 100-year-old ungrafted vines. Vegan. Drink or hold."
