The 2023 Peter Jakob Kühn Hallgartener Hendelberg Riesling Kabinett is a biodynamic, off-dry white wine from the Rheingau region, showcasing the unique terroir of the Hendelberg vineyard. This vineyard, characterized by its colorful phyllite slate soils and elevated, cooler microclimate, imparts a distinct mineral complexity to the wine.
👃 Tasting Notes
The bouquet offers ripe yellow fruits, particularly stone fruits, complemented by subtle floral notes and a delicate dark spiciness. These aromas reflect the wine's origin from the cooler, higher-altitude Hendelberg vineyard, which contributes to its deeper fruit aromatics and distinctive slate-derived spiciness.
On the palate, the wine is pleasantly taut and sinewy, delivering good pressure and presence. The delicate mineral acidity and piquant spiciness emerge mouthwateringly from the fruit sweetness, creating a dynamic and engaging tasting experience.
