2018 Schubertslay Riesling Kabinett Alte Reben Versteigerung Klaus Peter Keller, Mosel-Saar-Ruwer

Mosel Fine Wines: The 2018er Schubertslay Kabinett Alte Reben, as it is referred to on the consumer label, was harvested at 83° Oechsle on 120 year-old un-grafted vines and was fermented down to the lower end for fruity-styled levels of residual sugar (38 g/l). After an initial phase of smoky and reductive elements, this wine opens up to offer a multi -layered and impressively captivating nose of fresh minty herbs, grapefruit, lime, orange blossom and spices. Some delicate white fruits are wrapped into pure, zesty and animating flavors on the palate. The wine leaves one with a thrilling sense of airy finesse in the off-dry tasting finish. Far from being big, this stunning Kabinett remains true to its Prädikat. It is easily one of the finest young Kabinett we have ever tasted. And the upside is huge, as the wine fleshes out and develops more multi-layered depth. 2028-2048
