Weiser-Künstler Riesling Enkircher Ellergrub Kabinett 2024

Mosel Fine Wines: "The 2024er Enkircher Ellergrub Riesling Kabinett was made from fruit harvested at 82-83° Oechsle on largely un-grafted vines still trained on single pole and was fermented down to fruity-styled levels of residual sugar (49 g/l). This offers a beautiful and incredibly pure nose of blackberry, cassis, whipped cream, spices, and herbs. The wine proves superbly zesty and packed with intense flavors on the palate and leaves a vibrating and zesty feel in the citrus and mint-infused finish. We would opt to enjoy our bottles in a decade or more, when the acidity will have melted into the wine. (Jul 2025)"

Importer notes: The Ellergrub Kabinett is the masterpiece of the Kabinett lineup, the most mineral and dense, the most structured. I’d say that this is most often the most complex and normally the toughest of the Kabinetts; it can require time to join together completely. In 2024 this wine is absolutely psychedelic with acid of 10.5g, 48g of RS and just 7.5%. A relatively petite version of this Kabinett with a deep nose that comes from the large portion of ungrafted vines that are 110-years-old and older. There is a flinty and nearly smokey tone before the yellow fruits arrive in the palate finishing with fine herbal flavors. A zappy and elegant wine.
