Tasting Notes:

This Kabinett embodies the Bockstein par excellence: The scent of red currant and delicate herbs of mint and lemon balm seduces the nose. It glazes the palate with coolness of elegant spice and smoky notes, weaved together with cassis and ripe star fruit. In the finish, the wine remains almost salty on the tongue.

Pairing recommendations:

Moderately spicy Thai curries with crispy guinea fowl breast; Baked goat cheese with roasted nuts

What the others say:

Mosel Fine Wines, tasted in July 2021:

The 2020er Bockstein Kabinett, as it is referred to on the front label, was made from fruit picked at 86° Oechsle and was fermented to fully fruitystyled
levels of residual sugar (58 g/l). It offers a refreshing and floral nose of vineyard peach, candied grapefruit, stone fruit, bergamot, anise,
almond, and celery stick. The wine reveals some juicy yet round notes of yellow, smooth, and velvety fruits on the palate and leaves a long finish
with satisfying focus and precision. The aftertaste is nicely spicy, herbal, and light-weighted. 2026-2040
