Konstantin Weiser and his partner Alexandra Künstler have been making steep-slope wines since 2005. It all began with a small plot in the Ellergrub, which they initially developed with Daniel Vollenweider until the current winery was found in 2008. The pure Riesling winery initially produced exclusively residually sweet wines. Today, the 4.2 hectares of production are divided into dry and residually sweet, with most of the wines being vinified semi-dry and coming exclusively from the Ellergub. The concise phenolic is a guiding theme of Weiser-Künstler's wines, which are always contoured by noble bitters in addition to their concise acidity.
To save the old cultural landscape and the steep slopes, Weiser artists are members of the Klitzekleiner Ring. You could call it preservation by drinking. A good and important mission.
Color
Light yellow with green reflexes and silver tapered rim.
Nose
Delicate and filigree, the nose of the 2021 Enkircher Ellergrub Riesling Kabinett by Weiser-Künstler opens with lemon blossom, green mandarin and lemon balm, followed by a little crème patissier, vanilla and biscuit roll. The overall appearance is delicate and dance-like and makes the lips purse in anticipation.
Mouth
This Kabinett plays in the upper league of the Prädikat, for which the 2021 vintage has clearly played into the cards. Light-footed and delicate, this is the prime example of the boundless pleasures of the sweetness-acidity game that only exists on the Mosel. The crystalline acidity fuels its already low-threshold resistance to sipping, which is further accelerated by the fine-grained phenolic and sublime minerality.
