JOHANNISHOF│ 2007 ‘V’ RIESLING KABINETT, RHEINGAU
The Eser family can trace back wine growing to the year 1685. Some of the very best vineyard sites like Goldatzel, Hölle, Vogelsang in Johannisberg and Berg Rottland in Rüdesheim e.g. belong to this estate. A small and compact region, the Rheingau runs from east to west parallel to the Rhine’s 20 mile deviation from it’s northern course. The vineyards line the slopes between the protective Taunus hills and the heat-reflecting surface of the Rhine. This Kabinett wine is a typical Rheingau Riesling with its fruity character and light cherry flavor.
DR. LOOSEN│ 2007 ‘BLUE SLATE’ RIESLING KABINETT, MOSEL
Kabinett is the lightest and most delicate style of Riesling in Germany. It is produced from the earliest picking in the best vineyard sites. This estategrown Dr. Loosen Riesling Kabinett embodies the racy, mineral-driven style of steep, blue slate vineyards in the famous middle Mosel villages of Bernkastel, Graach and Wehlen. Dr. Loosen Rieslings from these villages are some of the most elegant white wines in the world, with fine density and subtle power.
