WINE DESCRIPTION
Schätzel Kabinett Riesling is typically a medium-sweet, mineral-driven Riesling hailing from the Nierstein appellation in the Rheinhessen region of Germany. The winemaking process involves meticulous attention to detail, with stringent sorting of the grapes to ensure crystalline flavors in the final wine. The fermentation takes place in stainless steel vats before being halted prematurely to retain residual sweetness in the wine. This elegant and sophisticated Riesling pairs beautifully with fragrant Thai dishes as well as lightly spiced South Asian dishes.
NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
Schätzel Kabinett Riesling displays a pale straw color with greenish hues, indicating its youthful nature.On the nose, it offers a vibrant array of fresh citrus fruits, such as lemon and lime, accompanied by delicate floral notes of white blossoms and hints of green apple.
On the palate, this Riesling exhibits a supreme balance between sweetness and steely acidity. The initial impression is one of crispness, with zesty flavors of lemon and grapefruit dancing on the taste buds. As the wine unfolds, layers of ripe peach and apricot reveal themselves, followed by hints of honeysuckle and slate-like minerality. The finish is persistent and satisfyingly dry, thanks to the palate-cleansing acidity.

Rheinhessen is Germany's largest wine region, located in the Rhine River Valley in the western part of the country. It is known for its diverse range of wines, from dry whites to sweet dessert wines. The region has a long history of winemaking, dating back to the Roman Empire.
Rheinhessen has been producing wine since the Roman Empire, when it was known as the province of Germania Superior. The region was an important center of winemaking during the Middle Ages, and it was here that the first German wine laws were established. In the 19th century, the region experienced a period of decline due to the phylloxera epidemic, but it was revived in the 20th century with the introduction of new grape varieties and modern winemaking techniques.
