Notes | |||
"The Bockstein Spatlese shares a broad range of floral and spicy flavors, accompanied by multiple hints of pears, Golden Delicious apples, ripe peaches and apricots. As usual, the significant and almost salty minerality joins this complex and round body, while the mature acidity structure keeps it fresh and elegant. The ageing potential covers several years to even decades, wherefore Bockstein Spatlese can now be enjoyed as appetizer or later in accompaniment to dishes like exotic Asian curries, semi-solid cheeses or fruit desserts." —winemaker |
Critical Acclaim | |||
"Slight funky and very flinty, this is a striking Kabinett that’s genuinely light in body (in spite of climate change) with delightful mineral and floral vibrancy. What a breathtakingly fresh and complex finish with everything from lime zest to tropical orchids! Drink or hold." —James Suckling "Picked three weeks later than the Goldtröpfchen Kabinett yet with only 2° more Oechsle, the 2019 Bockstein Kabinett is a picture-book Kabinett: clear and flinty on the precise, attractively reductive and floral nose. Picked on October 14, this is a fresh, piquant and stimulatingly salty yet also intense and juicy Kabinett with expression and grip. Stimulatingly salty and crisp. Tasted at the domain in September 2020." —Wine Advocate "Perfumed and expressive, featuring apricot, apple, elderflower, celery root and cumin aromas and flavors. Supple and creamy, shows a lingering aftertaste, echoing the fruit, floral and savory notes. Drink now through 2028. 3,000 cases made, 500 cases imported." —Wine Spectator |
