Riesling Kabinett 2022

We already knew Kai Schätzel when he was just starting to stir up sleepy Nierstein. A Sylvaner from ungrafted vines from the Hipping! That was an announcement. But his Rieslings were also convincing right from the start. Always a little different and surprising, but never deliberate. He was accepted into the VDP almost in record time and easily joined the phalanx of big names on the Rhine front, perhaps even showing the established estates a bit of the way forward for the wines from the Roter Hang. Experimental, uncompromising, fanatical about quality. This is what has brought Kai to where he is now "Schätzel is one of the most exciting and interesting new developments in German wine culture", writes Stefan Reinhard for the Wine Advocate.
