Winery Schätzel KabiNett Riesling 2016

The name is emblazoned on the label with a large internal N - and indeed, the resulting attribute is highly accurate. Although "nice' actually falls far short of the mark.

Deep underneath, however, is a mineral framework that lifts the "KabiNett' far above the sweet banality of many of its peers, despite its uncomplicated nature. Stuart Pigott wrote "Sensationally refreshing' in the Frankfurter Allgemeine Sonntagszeitung - we have nothing to add. Except to say that the years of bottle ageing have revealed even more of its class.
