Score

"An elegant and well-structured Kabinett with pronounced stony minerality behind the apple, pear and bergamot fruit. Polished acidity and beautifully integrated natural grape sweetness. Long, almost dry finish with good stony complexity. Drink or hold."

"The 2024 Riesling œrziger Würzgarten Kabinett still has a smoky touch of reduction, with a tender savor of stone underneath. The palate is light, almost mild and super smooth in texture, just like a caress. It is imbued with red apple notes and a subtle saltiness. The zesty finish makes this memorable. Off-dry"

"The 2023 Riesling œrziger Würzgarten Kabinett shows a flicker of reduction and a lovely savor of petrichor. The palate holds red apple peel and flesh with a beautiful saltiness that blends with a gentle touch of clementine sweetness. A picture of ease and lightness in true Merkelbach style."

"With its pronounced aromas of wild strawberries, baking spices and wet earth, this is a very striking riesling Kabinett. Still very youthful and slightly funky. Needs time for this to blow off, but it has a very good balance of restrained grape sweetness and mineral acidity. Drinkable now, but best from 2025."

"The 2023 œrziger Würzgarten Riesling Kabinett offers a discreet and delicate nose of ripe, finely concentrated fruit intertwined with delicate notes of crushed red slate. Very elegant and filigreed on the palate, this is a very delicate, round and charming Würzgarten Kabinett with a stimulating, crystalline and finely saline finish. 8.5% stated alcohol. Natural cork. Tasted at Selbach-Oster in January 2026."
