ROTENBERG Riesling Kabinett

Our steepest vineyard, Rotenberg in Altenbamberg, situated at almost 450 meters above sea level, is not only suitable for the dry VDP.Grossen Gewächse but also for wines with an elegant fruit sweetness, such as those found in the "Kabinett" designation. There, this south-facing hillside thrones over wild woods and untouched meadows. The name comes from the red color (rot in German) of the volcanic rhyolite soil that results from its high iron oxide content. The Rotenberg wines have enormous mineral expression, tasting dramatically herbal and smoky. Our highest altitude vineyard is also our steepest and is continuously stroked by the wind, giving its wines an almost supernatural freshness.    

Rotenberg Kabinett is very delicate, elegant, and incredibly fresh. Aromas of citrus fruits like Amalfi lemon and tangerine dominate the flavor. The fine sweetness accentuates the harmonious acidity, giving the wine both a certain juiciness and a powerful freshness, along with the typical mineral spiciness of the volcanic soil.
