Notes | |||
"The Ürziger Würzgarten site is traditionally considered to be a specialty among the Middle Mosel vineyards because of its red iron-rich soil, which is mixed with fine slate. This gives the wines grown here a totally different character, with spice and opulent fruit as well as a crisp, hearty backbone, which produces a tremendously full-bodied wine when combined with a hint of residual sugar." —winemaker |
Critical Acclaim | |||
"The 2020 Riesling Ürziger Würzgarten Kabinett (Green Capsule) opens with a clear, bright, flinty, savory and greatly finessed bouquet with crunchy red slate and ripe lemon juice aromas. Round and supple but also finessed and elegant, this is a light-footed, filigreed and aromatic yet still reductive Kabinett with lovely, youthful astringency. It is light as a feather and colored like a parrot. 9.5% stated alcohol. Natural cork. Tasted in September 2023." —Wine Advocate |
