Saarburger Rausch, Riesling, Kabinett, 2021
Parading complex slate notes alongside citrus, chamomile and mint aromas, this hits the palate running, with a racy acidity underpinning the clear and juicy fruit. Direct, crisp and dart-like – proper Saar Kabinett.
critic reviews
The 2021 Riesling Saarburger Rausch Kabinett was harvested in several parcels across the mid-slope of the Rausch vineyard, mostly from younger vines, which here means 20 years old. The nose needs much swirling and comes almost with a touch of orange zest, tart, aromatic, and alluring. The palate is wonderfully juicy, sunny, ripe yet so utterly fresh, so light, so joyful. It is the acidity here that makes this wine, lending its verve and brightness, subsuming everything into its totally citric focus that lasts and lasts. Analytics are 59g/L of residual sweetness and 9g/L of acidity. (Sweet)
