Riesling Kabinett Veldenzer Elisenberg 2014

- 93 points -

The Veldenzer Elisenberg Kabinett is made from the same fruit harvested at a low 82° Oechsle as the Veldenzer Elisenberg Kabinett **, but fermented in traditional Fuder. This offers a gorgeous Ruwer styled nose, with very clean and pure scents of grapefruit and a hint of rosewater on the palate. The wine is crisp and lively, with a firm zesty backbone which will be hugely appealing for acid freaks. The finish is long and nearly off-dry in taste. While delicious now, this hypothetical blend between a 1996 and a 1994 is still on the rougher side of life and will only really shine, as so often with Max Ferd. Richter wines, once properly aged.
