Dusty slate and earth tones mingle into luscious guava and pink-grapefruit flavors in this decadently fruity kabinett. A sumptuous semi-dry Riesling, it's profoundly ripe and deeply concentrated but zippy and spry, finishing on a long, honeyed streak of lime and lemon acidity. Delicious young but should hold well through 2035. ... More details

The attractive, ripe white-peach, pomegranate and honeysuckle aromas are married to a light body, but this has a great, creamy and silky mouthfeel on the mid-palate that makes it stand out in the category. Very long and seriously mineral finish. Drink or hold.

Rated 92 by Wine Advocate
The 2019 Berncasteler Doctor Riesling Kabinett is concentrated yet fine on the nose. Crystalline, refined and salty on the palate, this is a complex and structured Doctor whose sweetness is still dominant yet countered by concise acidity. Tasted at the domain in September 2020.

Ripe, mixing peach and apricot, elderflower, sweet woodruff and brown spice flavors. Lively acidity is buffered by a creamy midpalate, ending with a tangy, mouthwatering finish. Drink now through 2030. 250 cases made, 50 cases imported.

Varietal: Riesling

Riesling grapes are very rarely blended with others in the development of wines, and for good reason. These pale grapes which originated in the cool Rhine Valley of Germany are notable for their 'transparency' of flavor, which allows the characteristics of their terroir to shine through in wonderful ways. The result of this is a wine which carries a wide range of interesting flavors quite unlike those found in other white wines, finished off with the distinctively floral perfume Riesling supplies so well. Many wineries in Germany and elsewhere tend to harvest their Riesling grapes very late – often as late as January – in order to make the most of their natural sweetness. Other methods, such as encouraging the noble rot fungus, help the Riesling grape varietal present some truly unique and exciting flavors in the glass, and the variety of wines this varietal can produce mean it is one of the finest and most interesting available anywhere.

Country: Germany

Much has changed over the past few decades in regards to German wine. Long gone are the days of mass produced, sickly sweet white wines which were once the chief exports of this fascinating and ancient wine producing country, and they have been replaced with something far more sophisticated. Whilst Germany continues to produce a relatively large amount of dessert wine, the wineries of the south of the country have reverted their attention to the production of drier, more elegant wines which really make the most of the fine grape varieties which flourish there. Many of the wineries dealing primarily with the excellent Riesling grapes have produced some truly exceptional dry and semi-sweet wines over the past few years, and it seems the world has finally woken up and noticed the extremely high quality of the distinctive produce coming out of Germany today.
