Riesling Kabinett Veldenzer Elisenberg 2020

- 94 points -

The 2020 Elisenberger Riesling Kabinett, as it is referred to on the consumer label, was made from fruit picked at 78° Oechsle in the area around the sundial and in the upper part of the vineyard and was fermented down to fruity-styled levels of residual sugar (48 g/l). It offers a beautiful nose made of mirabelle, quince, melon, tangerine, whipped cream, herbs, and lots of smoky elements. The wine is gorgeously playful on the palate and leaves a stunning feel of herbs and ripe fruits in the juicy finish. The aromatic intensity paired with the airy and light-footed structure are truly remarkable. The wine proves however still rather reduced and primary so a little bit of patience will be in order before truly getting the most out of this beauty!
