Thomas Schmitt Riesling Kabinett 2017 750ml

Riesling is by far the most important and prestigious grape of the Mosel, grown on approximately 60% of the region’s vineyard land—typically on the desirable sites that provide the best combination of sunlight, soil type and altitude. The best Mosel Rieslings—dry or sweet—express marked acidity, low alcohol, great purity and intensity with aromas and flavors of wet slate, citrus and stone fruit. With age, the wine’s color will become more golden and pleasing aromas of honey, dried apricot and sometimes petrol develop.

Light on its feet and fruity, this is an easy-drinking wine that boasts concentrated flavors of white grapefruit, apple and lemon. It’s off dry and uncomplicated, with a thirst-quench finish that is edged by a delicate honey tone.
