Lieu-dit Côte Bonnette, dark migmatite granite at the north of the appellation. Bin: 6004

• Weingut Stephan Müller Riesling Kabinett Alte Reben | 2021

  The grapes for this fantastic Kabinett come from one of the oldest plots in the Saar, most of which are still planted with ungrafted vines that are almost 100 years old. These roots deep in the red slate soil and can therefore provide the small, highly aromatic grapes with water and nutrients even in the driest years. Fine, initially somewhat puristic bouquet characterized by cold, smoky slate notes and hints of citrus fruits. With more air, the wine opens up and notes of crisp apples and pronounced herbal notes of aniseed and lemon balm further add to the complexity. Very precise on the palate, dense and polished with a dreamy play of sweetness and acidity, excellent mineral structure and a long, spicy aftertaste - will mature magnificently! Bin: 7307
