A radically cool and delicate riesling for Rheinhessen, where generosity is more or less the rule. Sleek and light-bodied, but with a wonderful racy energy and wet stone mineralty that together make this feel much drier than it really is. Long, extremely clean, lightly spritzy finish. From organically grown grapes with FairChoice certification. Drink or hold. Screw cap. (93) STUART PIGGOT, JamesSuckling.com
The 2023 Riesling Jean Baptiste Kabinett, named after the founder of the estate, is almost exclusively picked in the Pettenthal. It was harvested from lower parcels, with deeper soils and a slight easterly aspect, meaning earlier shade in the afternoon and at the very top. The 2023 crackles with flinty reduction, crushed nettle and a superbly pure overtone of lemon zest. The palate brings the full force of stone and savory iron oxide. It’s off-dry, playing off that mineral saltiness with red apple ripeness, always underlined by citrus. This is wonderfully captured, with real tension, energy and excitement. Lovely and totally lip-smacking, it balances 28 g/L of residual sweetness with just under 10 g/L of acidity—the latter makes this totally dangerous. (Off-dry). (93) ANNE KREBIEHL MW, Vinous
