Spreitzer Oestricher Lenchen Riesling Kabinett 2024 (750ml)
Product price
Description
This 2023 Riesling from Spreitzer's vineyard in Oestrich, one of the Rheingau's most storied corners, carries the Kabinett designation, which signals a lightly sweet wine made from ripe grapes picked at a precise moment. The result is delicate and restrained, built on the balance between gentle residual sugar and bracing acidity.
On the nose, you'll find apple blossom and green apple leading into bright lemon. The palate mirrors this clarity, with those same orchard and citrus notes arriving juicy and animated. The wine's sweetness (45 grams per liter) is calibrated against firm acidity (8.2 grams per liter), creating a wine that feels fresh and lively rather than heavy or cloying. This is the kind of Riesling that drinks best young, when its brightness and mineral snap are at their peak.
Expert Reviews
The 2023 Riesling Oestricher Lenchen Kabinett brims with apple blossom, green apple and lemon on the nose. These notions duly appear on the palate, where they are made even livelier with lemon. Gentle sweetness makes this exquisitely juicy; the 45 g/L of residual sugar shines against 8.2 g/L of acid. Wonderful, light, bright and so animating. (Medium)
