Weiser-Künstler
Enkircher Ellergrub Kabinett Riesling
A faint veil of yeast parts to reveal scents of fresh Bartlett pear and zesty lime that go on to inform an infectiously juicy, polished palate. Utmost delicacy from a mere 7.5 percent alcohol is allied with 55 grams of residual sugar that are supportive but not at all overbearing, and the sugar-acid tension in this bottling’s long, vibratory finish is both literally and metaphorically fruitful. Like the best Weiser-Künstler wines, dry or sweet, this displays a remarkable sense of transparency to myriad mineral nuances. (Whereas this wine has typically been raised in tank, this year there is a contribution from cask.) (David Schildknecht, Vinous, June 2017)

Sep 4th, 2016Starting off #obx light and easy. Green apple, honeysuckle, orange peel, hints of the oiliness to be, slate, sweet but really balanced with a tangy lemony acidic finish. Really like this.
