Description

Outstanding value premium Riesling from the Pfalz, from a cult producer renowned for making textured, slightly oxidative wines, with long ageing in oak.

Known for its distinctive, lightly oxidative winemaking style, Koehler-Ruprecht delivers a Riesling with surprising complexity and verve.

Handpicked in five meticulous stages, the fruit is treated to slow, spontaneous fermentation in classic oval oak and chestnut barrels, lending depth and an earthy nuance to its bright character. On the palate, it’s a lively experience – the wine bursts with zesty white peach, lime, and delicate honeyed sweetness, perfectly tempered by vibrant, steely acidity. The herbal notes of sage, thyme, and a hint of rosemary add complexity, offering a dry, yet flavour-packed profile that practically jumps out of the glass.

Aged on lees for nine months, this Riesling has a graceful intensity with an unmistakable energy on the finish – a “lightweight” Kabinett that packs a punch. A stunning example of German Riesling, it’s both refreshing and complex. This drinks like a dream.

"Bottled in September this year, the 2022 Kallstadter Riesling Kabinett trocken is quite intense and yeasty on the nose. Rich and refined on the palate, this is a medium to full-bodied, intense but elegant and refined, saline and stimulating Riesling with deep aromas and a long and saline finish. The vintage is super present here in all its power, intensity and length."

91 points - "This dry riesling Kabinett deftly squares the circle of light body (just 10.5% alcohol) and ripe aromas – think fresh pineapple and star fruit. Key to that is the lively, yet silky acidity that’s underlined by a delicate touch of fine tannin at the long, citrusy finish. Drink now. 91 points. Stuart Pigott (JamesSuckling.com)

The grapes are harvested with up to five selective pickings by hand. They’re crushed and then macerated between 12 to 24 hours before undergoing spontaneous fermentation. The wines are aged in traditional oval-shaped oak or chestnut barrels ranging from 300 to 2400 litres, with up to nine months on lees.

Barrel fermented, of course & a so-called “light weight” and classic Kabinett with intensity coming on the palate. A really fun wine with some fresh white fruit flavours as well as some herbal characters of sage, rosemary and thyme. – Koehler-Ruprecht
