Tasting notes
Very clear, pure, fresh and spicy on the nose, the 2012 Ockfener Bockstein Riesling Kabinett reveals floral aromas of white peaches, lemons and brown sugar. Nicely juicy and piquant on the palate, this is a stimulating, salty and tension-filled Riesling, clear, lean and electrifying.

The customary spices of the Bockstein add a little extra intrigue to the fragrance of ripe yellow fruit. On the palate citrus fruit and spice are partnered by a refreshing touch of gently bitter peel, possibly an herbaceous remnant of spontaneous fermentation. A very restrained measure of residual sugar leaves plenty of room for spices and fruit to shine, a deft touch of acidity completing a successful interpretation of lively Saar Kabinett. (MS)
