July 2017 (Vintage 2016)

The Juffer Kabinett (AP13) was harvested at 84° Oechsle. It offers a delicately creamy nose of vineyard peach, melon, grapefruit and fine herbs.
The wine is juicy and spicy on the palate and leaves a great refreshingly tart feel in the long and focused finish. This structured Kabinett will need a
good decade in the bottle in order to develop its full potential. It could eventually warrant a higher rating as it mellows away and integrates
aromatically. 2026-2041

Puckery lime and lemon flavors collide into lavish streaks of honey and marmalade in this penetrating, lip-smacking kabinett. Delicately composed with the faintest hint of sweetness, it reverberates through a high-toned, tangerine finish.
