    Meierer Riesling Kabinett Kesten - Luscious

    By: Jon Thorsen Published: July 22, 2019 Last Updated: May 23, 2021

    At only 8% alcohol this bottle won't last long, the Meierer Riesling Kabinett Kesten.

    Meierer Riesling Kabinett Kesten - Luscious

    100% Riesling from three vineyards (Herrenberg, Paulinsberg and Paulinshofberg) in Kesten, Mosel, Germany. Fermented in stainless steel, the wine is medium-sweet with 8.8 g/L of residual sugar.

    Sample submitted for review. The Meierer Riesling Kabinett Kesten has an SRP of $23 and is available for as low as $18. Ready to buy? Check your local retailers. Imported by Schafer-Reichart Selections.

    From the winery:

    Klaus’ Kesten wines come from three local vineyards: Herrenberg, Paulinsberg, and Paulinshofberg. The vineyards are planted on a 70% grade slope, thus all viticultural practices are tended to manually. When off-dry a small bit of botrytis will included, under 5%, and depending on the vintage Kabinett may see 0-20% noble rot.

    Once harvested, the grapes receive quick pressing and short maceration, and fermentation is started spontaneously in stainless steel. Selected yeasts are used to finish fermentation before the wine is filtered and bottled.

    8% Alcohol

    The 2014 Meierer Riesling Kabinett Kesten begins with pleasing aromas of peach and tropical fruit along with quite a few herbal notes and a little bit of petrol. Taking a sip reveals this to be luscious, flavorful stuff. It doesn't taste nearly as sweet as I was expecting, just downright delicious. Lots of zesty citrus, green apple and tropical fruit flavors are wrapped up in an excellent, lively mouthfeel. At only 8% alcohol this bottle won't last long. The finish is long lasting in the mouth with a touch of sweetness lingering on your lips as well.

    Ready to buy? Check your local retailers.
