WINE DESCRIPTION
Eifel Pfeiffer Riesling Kabinett is a refreshing white wine that showcases the medium-sweet Kabinett style. Hailing from the famous Mosel appellation, this wine is crafted exclusively from Riesling grapes grown in truly unique vineyards. The vineyard features include steep slopes, optimal sun exposure, and a long growing season, which results in grapes with excellent ripeness and vibrant acidity. The winemaking process involves hand harvesting and gentle pressing of the grapes, followed by fermentation at controlled temperatures to preserve the purity of the flavor profile. The resulting wine is a true reflection of the Kabinett style, with a crisp acidity, vibrant fruit flavors, and a sweetness that offers the perfect counterpoint to the acidity. This Riesling Kabinett is a perfect choice for those seeking a gently sweet style or a wine pairing for seafood dishes like bacon-wrapped monkfish.
NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
The Eifel Pfeiffer Riesling showcases the classic characteristics of the Riesling Kabinett style.On the nose, expect vibrant aromas of ripe peaches, green apples, and citrus fruits, accompanied by floral undertones of jasmine. These aromatics are a hallmark of Riesling and contribute to its refreshing and aromatic profile. On the palate, the Eifel Pfeiffer Riesling Kabinett offers a harmonious balance between sweetness and acidity. The initial sweetness is beautifully offset by a zesty acidity, creating a lively and crisp mouthfeel. Flavors of juicy stone fruits, such as apricot and peach, mingle with hints of lime and lemon zest, adding a vibrant citrusy character to the wine.
The finish is clean and lingering, leaving a pleasant impression of fruitiness and a touch of minerality. Drink within 15 years.
