From porphyry soils, the 2018 Niederhäuser Klamm Riesling Kabinett is super clear, precise and smoky on the spicy, crystalline and reductive nose. Sweet, lush and generous on the palate, this is a juicy-piquant and gripping Kabinett that was bottled with 9.5% alcohol and 33 grams of residual sugar. Tasted from AP 21 in July 2019.

Scents and juicy abundance of pit-tinged apple and seedy strawberry are tempered by underlying stoniness, and the finish is bell-clear, with an irresistible combination of lift, refreshment and invigoration. At 35 grams of residual sugar, this bottling reflects Schneider’s admirable determination to give his “sweet” wines less-obvious sweetness than they tended to have six or eight years ago.
