KYSELA PERE ET FILS, LTD.

"This prototypical Mosel Kabinett has depth and vibrancy all packed into a light-bodied frame. Not super-sleek, but enormously refreshing with super-expressive white peach, yellow apple and honeysuckle aromas. Super-crisp finish. Delicious now, but excellent aging potential too! From organically grown grapes. Drink or hold. Screw cap."

"Cut stone and tart pineapple aromas introduce this light-bodied, electrifying kabinett. Just a hint sweet on the palate, its bold lemon, lime and green-apple flavors are juxtaposed by spine tingling acidity and a long, lingering crush of salty, smoky minerality. Heavenly young but should maintain peak through 2026 at least. - ANNA LEE C. IIJIMA"

"Strikes of slate and lime zest are brightened by juicy, sweet pineapple in this zippy off-dry Riesling. Racy acidity and a delicate prickle of effervescence lend a vital, thrilling edge to the palate. At peak now but should hold well through 2024. - ANNA LEE C. IIJIMA"

"There’s a tension between this wine’s honeyed apricot flavors and its lightly bitter pear-skin grip that might resolve with time in the bottle, or with a chunk of creamy goat cheese."

"The 2016 Bastgen Kestener Paulinshofberg Riesling Kabinett offers plenty of sweetness yet stays balanced and pure, with vibrant acidity. Classic notes of lime, quince, crushed rocks, and a hint of mint all flow from this medium-bodied, beautifully layered Kabinett. It’s about as drinkable as they come, yet it also has beautiful complexity and elegance."

"Pristine minerality and crisp-tart apricot, nectarine and tangerine flavors collide in this spine-tingling semisweet Riesling. It's a crystalline, light-footed wine that persists through a long, luminous finish. Enjoy now through 2023. - Anna Lee C. Iijima"

"Almost too much body for this "light" category, but it has plenty of ripe apples, peaches and pie-crust character. The finish is long and clean. Drink now or in 2019 and 2020."

"Earthy notes of pollen accent robust yellow peach and quince in this medium-sweet Kabinett. Fine brisk texture and scintillating acidity lend a lacy fragile feel to the palate. The finish lingers sweetly. - Anna Lee C. Iijima"

"In the cool 2014 vintage, this steep vineyard near Bernkasteler-Kues gave super fruity wines. This Kabinett has multifaceted flavors of tropical fruit, with crunchy green grape and green apple notes to bring a crisp freshness to the wine. The acidity has a cool, minty edge, keeping it lively and clean. Check out the Paulinshofberg Spatlese as well."

"Aromas of dried oregano and sage, alongside a vein of dusty minerals, lend a dark, savory tone to this refreshing off-dry Riesling. Crisp apple and lemon flavors are cutting and spry on the palate, finishing brisk and clean."
