Tasting note

The 2023er Ockfener Bockstein Riesling Kabinett Alte Reben Mia (the reference to this internal cask name is provided in small print on the label after the AP number) is made from fruit harvested on old vines planted in the 1960s and was fermented down to barely fruity-styled levels of residual sugar. This offers a stunning nose of elderflower, mint, pear, citrusy elements, starfruit, and smoke. The wine offers a great feel of green herbs and fine spices on the racy yet delicately smooth palate and leaves an incredibly vibrating feel in the long and juicy finish. This is a stunning Kabinett in the making! The potential for upside is obvious if the wine develops even more complexity over time. 2033-2043
