[SOLD-OUT] Ansgar Clusserath Trittenheimer Riesling Kabinett 2021

 

"From the steep slopes of Mosel comes this bright and balanced Riesling. With only 7.5% alcohol it is extremely drinkable, with a delicate hint of sweetness that is cut off by a razor-sharp acidity. Flavour concentration is key, with notes of zesty lemon, ripe white peach, flint, and elderflower. A pure delight to drink!" - Wine House

 

"The 2021er Trittenheimer Riesling Kabinett is a fruity-styled wine made from Estate holdings in the Apotheke and was fermented and aged in a traditional Fuder. Initially slightly reductive, it opens up to offer an undercool aromatic profile of greengage, white peach, gooseberry, minty herbs, smoke, almond, and freshly cut grass. The wine proves superbly playful on the palate, where fresh orchard fruits are wrapped into grapefruit driven zesty elements. The finish is subtly smoky and refreshing. This is a great drinking Kabinett with a good sense of complexity." - Mosel Fine Wines

 

"The fruit for this village-designated Ansgar Clüsserath Trittenheimer Riesling Kabinett comes from the Apotheke grand cru, Trittenheim’s finest individual vineyard site. It lies on the right bank of the Mosel, opposite the village of Trittenheim. ‘Apotheke’ literally means ‘pharmacy’ but the vineyard’s name doesn’t refer to the medicinal properties of its wines. It in fact derives from a foundation established by the “Abtsberg” Abbey of Trier. With its extreme slope of up to 78%, Apotheke ranks among the top sites on the Mosel. The southwest-facing hillside benefits from direct sunlight well into late evening, a lengthy time during which the slate soils store heat, which extends the ripening period. Weathered slate slopes with subterranean water veins ensure an optimal supply of nutrients and allow the vines to develop deep roots. The grapes yield wines with great aging potential and complex minerality. In their youth, the wines show finesse; as they mature, they display rich fruitiness reminiscent of apricot and peach." - Cellarhand
