Wehlener Klosterberg Riesling Kabinett (White Capsule)

    • Description :

      White Capsule: Dry
      Quality level: Kabinett
      Vineyard: Wehlener Klosterberg is at the heart of the Molitor vineyards, and stretches up the steep slopes to the left and right of the winery building. It is located in a side valley directly opposite Zeltingen, and faces almost due south.
      Vinification: The grapes were softly crushed and macerated for several hours on the skins. After maceration the juice was fermented using only natural yeasts. The wine rests on the lees following fermentation producing a balanced and aromatic wine.

      Riesling

      Soil :

      Tasting notes :

      "Strongly reductive at first, it is only after extensive airing that this wine reveals cool aromatics of herbs and mint as well as some greengage and smoke. The very dynamic wine proves nicely refreshing with grip and presence on the palate. The finish is light and airy, with great upside potential at maturity."
      (Mosel Fine Wines, Issue 38)
