Tasting notes
Honeydew melon and pear are laced with mint and woodruff, then drizzled with grapefruit, in an aromatic and gustatory display that is largely soothing and cooling but harbors just enough insistent brightness to also invigorate and refresh. The finish lingers with luscious fruit abundance supported by sweetness that is not in the least extraneous. There is an appropriately stony aspect here, too, expressing itself as suffusion.

This has real presence and attractive grapefruit and ripe-apple aromas that follow to a palate that has plenty of rich, fleshy and vibrant fruit impact. Juicy and rich. Balanced too. Drink now.
Tasted in a lineup of 18 Mosel Kabinett wines in June 2019, Andrea and Barbara Adam's 2018 Dhroner Hofberg Riesling Kabinett is very reductive yet super clear and precise on the untamed or stinky "sponti" nose. The palate is mouthfilling, fresh and piquant, very pure and tight yet lush and firmly structured on the finish. The wine has gorgeous grip and tension, which give a mouthwatering finish. Tasted in June 2019.
