The 2022 Riesling Zeltinger Himmelreich Kabinett Green Capsule presents vivid lime notes on the nose. The palate falls into step with citric vividness, aromatic lime and lemon allure. This is tight, bright, mouth-watering, super-slender, fresh and on a knife’s edge, svelte, slender, concentrated, and hugely exciting due to sheer citric tension. Residual sweetness barely moves the needle here in terms of sweetness; it just turns up the volume on the fruit. Wow. (Off-dry)

Varietal

Riesling

Riesling grapes have been grown in and around central Europe for centuries, and over time, they became the lasting symbol of south Germany's ancient and proud wine culture. Whilst the reputation of German wines abroad has in the past been mixed, the Germans themselves take an enormous amount of pride in their wineries, and Riesling grapes have now spread around the globe, growing anywhere with the correct climate in which they can thrive. Riesling grape varietals generally require much cooler climatic conditions than many other white grapes, and they are generally considered to be a very 'terroir expressive' varietal, meaning that the features and characteristics of the terroir they are grown on comes across in the flavors and aromas in the bottle. It is this important feature which has allowed Riesling wines to be elevated into the category of 'fine' white wines, as the features of the top quality bottles are generally considered to be highly unique and offer much to interest wine enthusiasts.

Country

Germany

As in many Old World countries, the rise of viticulture in Germany came about as a result of the Roman Empire, who saw the potential for vine cultivation in the vast flatlands around the base of the Rhine valley. Indeed, for over a thousand years, Germany's wine production levels were enormous, with much of the south of the country being used more or less exclusively for growing grapes. Over time, this diminished to make way for expanding cities and other types of industries, but Southern Germany remains very much an important wine region within Europe, with many beautifully balanced and flavorful German wines being prized by locals and international wine lovers alike. The hills around Baden-Baden and Mannheim are especially noteworthy, as these produce the high end of the characteristic semi-sweet white wines which couple so perfectly with German cheeses and pickled vegetables. However, all of Germany's wine producing regions have something special and unique to offer, and are a joy to explore and experience.

Region

Mosel-Saar-Ruwer

The Mosel-Saar-Ruwer region in western Germany is famous for producing some of the world’s finest Rieslings. Steep, slate-covered slopes along the Mosel, Saar, and Ruwer rivers reflect sunlight and retain heat, helping grapes ripen in a cool climate. This terroir yields aromatic, high-acid Rieslings with striking minerality, low alcohol, and a balance of sweetness and freshness. Styles range from bone-dry to lusciously sweet, often with exceptional aging potential. The region’s best wines come from terraced vineyards like Wehlener Sonnenuhr, Scharzhofberger, and Ürziger Würzgarten. Manual vineyard work is intense, but the payoff is elegance and precision in the glass. Mosel-Saar-Ruwer wines are transparent expressions of site and vintage. While mostly white, they offer incredible diversity in style and structure—making them essential for any wine lover exploring Germany’s classic regions.

There's a green herbal edge to the fruit in this white, with pithy bitterness offsetting its core of ripe, fleshy plum and melon. Shows real mineral depth, too, offering the structure to go the distance in the cellar. A zesty element emerges, with smoke, white tea and cardamom notes, plus a pretty white meadow blossom detail. Long and well-built, with softened acidity gliding through the finish. Drink now through 2035. 1,500 cases made, 50 cases imported.

Striking nose of Reine Claude (green) plums. At once cool, crisp and juicy this light-bodied barely off-dry riesling has plenty of energy. Good substance and very clean. Drink or hold.

Wine Advocate

The 2022 Riesling Zeltinger Himmelreich Kabinett (Green Capsule) opens with a very clear, bright, fresh and coolish yet intense bouquet of ripe and lush stone fruits, wet stones and beautiful floral and vegetal notes. This Zeltinger is dense, round and intense, savory and well-structured, still very youthful and quite mouthfilling for the Kabinett predicate. The finish is savory and rather dry, even though the 2022 cannot hide its residual sugar. However, the finish makes it a rather dryish-tasting Riesling Kabinett with an alive-and-kicking character. 9% stated alcohol. Natural cork. Tasted at the domaine in August 2024 form AP 144 23.

Winery Notes

This offers a beautiful nose of cassis, grapefruit, herbs, white flowers and fine spices. The wine is silky yet delicately zesty on the palate. Canned yellow peach, zesty grapefruit and fine aniseed herbs come through and add depth to the long and nicely focused finish. The after-taste is persistent, with nicely integrated ripe acidity and smooth herbal and fruity flavors.
