Color:
The wine shows itself in light straw yellow with white-golden reflexes clear and shining in the glass.
Nose:
Hello sunshine!
With unobtrusive green-yellowish fruit, the scent of this simple cheerfulness suggests pure carefreeness.
Yes, there are notes of lime, green apple and khaki, as well as the aromas of fresh basil and lemon balm; ultimately, however, the basic message of Kai Schätzel's 2018 Riesling Kabinett is, "Don't be so cerebral. Don't overthink it. Just drink it."
Agreed.
Palate:
On the palate, Kai Schätzel's 2018 Riesling Kabinett is a celebration of juiciness. Its yellow-fleshed fruit dances on an acidity that is stretched like a tightrope. Thus, the fruity-sweet hip swing of the wine is also properly countered and one catches oneself, thoughtlessly enjoying the moment, to have already emptied the bottle.
Stockpiling strongly recommended.
