2012 Joh. Jos. Prüm Riesling Kabinett

Notes

A fine introduction to the Rieslings of Prüm. From Mosel Fine Wines: "The Riesling Kabinett is typically made from fruit out of Graach and Bernkastel. The 2012 version offers a direct and joyful nose of peach and white flowers. The wine is nicely balanced and leaves a crispy and deliciously salty feel in the surprisingly long finish. This off-dry rather than fruity-styled wine is really delicious for a 'mere' Estate Kabinett. Drink 2014-2020." (10/2013) The 2012 vintage presented weather conditions both challenging, then favorable, and it would do consumers well to follow advice from the Wine Spectator's 2012 vintage report: "For German wine fans, seeking out fastidious producers will be crucial when the 2012s hit the market."
