The 2019 Bernkasteler Badstube Riesling Kabinett is clear and aromatic yet fresh and precise on the crunchy-pure slate bouquet. Round and piquant on the clear and crystalline palate, this is a light yet intense, filigreed, charmingly lush and persistently salty terroir-driven Kabinett with complexity, grip and tension on the finish that indicates great aging potential. Tasted at the domain in September 2020.

**Editors' Choice** Light as a feather but deeply penetrating, this high-spirited kabinett zips and zaps with delicately sweet lime, lemon and white-peach flavors. Dusted by slate and edged by smoke and salt, it's a deeply mineral, sprightly wine that finishes on piercing acidity. Delicious young but should drink at peak through 2027 and hold longer still.

A very expressive Kabinett with so much stone-fruit, red-apple and fresh-herb aromas, then a very elegant, rather sleek palate that’s very clean and focused with a barely off-dry and food-friendly finish. Drink now. Screw cap.
