From 40+-year-old vines on gray-reddish, iron-rich slate and bottled in April this year, the 2022 Brauneberger Juffer Riesling Kabinett trocken offers an intense, elegant and floral bouquet with flinty notes of crushed slate and herbal notes. Round and lush on the palate, this is a charming, filigreed and crystalline Kabinett with generous fruit texture but also fine, crystalline and saline grip. It's already almost pleasant at this early stage. 10.5% stated alcohol. Screw-cap closure. Tasted in May 2023.
