Schloss Vollrads, ‘Winkel’ Rheingau Riesling, Kabinett Trocken

Description

Schloss Vollrads, with nearly 800 years of viticulture experience, is one of the oldest wine estates in the world. The vineyards are located in the heart of the Rheingau in Germany, where the quality of Riesling is unsurpassed anywhere. This wine is bright pale yellow in colour. It has a fruity nose with notes of apple, peach and apricots. The palate is round and mellow with a clear fruity taste and a strong mineral character. Characterised by its elegance, the acidity is well balanced by the residual sugar before the long, off dry finish. Trocken means it’s a dry wine, with less than 9 g/l residual sugar or less. Kabinett is the lightest style of Riesling, made from grapes that have a sweetness level of 148–188 g/l residual sugar. Kabinett wines range from dry to off-dry.
