Tasting notes
The 2021 Oberhäuser Leistenberg Riesling Kabinett is a pure, precise and coolish, piquant and slatey Riesling with lemon chutney and fermented green pepper notes. Lush, piquant and stimulating fresh, this is an intense, saline and crystalline Kabinett with gorgeous fruit and aging potential. 8.5% stated alcohol. Screw cap. Tasted in July 2022.

VDP Grosse Lage. Grey, carbon-laced decomposed argillaceous shale. 45-year-old vines. South-east facing. Fine aromatic layers of apricot, bergamot orange, lime peel, mint and lemon balm; wait a minute, sniff again, and the whole nose shuffles itself up like a deck of cards. Fine acidity, filigreed and spicy. Perfectly executed sugar pirouettes; elegant and sleek. A mesmerising and quiet confidence on the weightless palate. Lingering, stony finish. The unbearable lightness of Riesling, Kundera would be proud. (PS)
