„Trarbacher Schlossberg“ Riesling Kabinett 2023

Wine Description for „Trarbacher Schlossberg“ Riesling Kabinett 2023 from Weiser-Künstler

Colour & Appearance

Silvery shimmering straw yellow with pale and green reflections – a wine that reveals its youthful freshness and vibrancy in the glass.

Nose

Playful and light-footed, this classic Mosel Kabinett presents itself with charm. White peach, nashi pear and yellow apple form the fruity foundation, interwoven with precise citrus aromas that provide freshness and a fine bitter note. In the background, the stony character of blue slate constantly resonates. Herbal accents of lemon balm, lemon thyme and mint lend the bouquet additional complexity and aromatic depth.

Palate

On the palate, the wine shows consistency and character. Acidity and sweetness duel on equal terms – a balancing act that succeeds perfectly. With its 44 g/l residual sugar and crisp 9.7 g/l acidity, the Kabinett feels grippy and compactly structured, never heavy. A bitter core stimulates the swallowing reflex, whilst the delicate fruit sweetness caresses over the pronounced minerality. Piquant, refreshing and of remarkable elegance.

Finish

Cool and precise with lingering citrus notes and mineral freshness. The low alcohol content of just 8% makes this wine an enormously light-footed representative of its category.

Terroir & Origin

The Trarbacher Schlossberg lies in a side valley of the Mosel on blue slate. The southern exposure and the vines of at least 25 years of age give the wine its characteristic minerality and depth.

Grape Variety & Vinification

Spontaneous fermentation with natural yeasts in large wooden casks, followed by maturation in stainless steel tanks. This classic vinification optimally preserves the freshness and vibrancy of the Riesling.

Food Pairing Suggestions

An ideal companion to Asian cuisine, particularly Thai curries or sushi. Excellent also with goat’s cheese, smoked trout or asparagus dishes. Unbeatable as an aperitif on warm summer evenings.

Special Features

A contemporary Kabinett from the textbook – cool, fruity, elegant and with just 8% alcohol perfect for modern, mindful wine enjoyment. A prime example of the renaissance of the classic Mosel style.
