“The 2018 Himmelreich Kabinett from Christophe Schaefer is a superb bottle, with classic delicacy and filigree one expects from this Prädikat level. The lovely nose wafts from the glass in a very pure mix of grapefruit, lime, a touch of wild yeasts, a beautiful base of slate, a whisper of petrol and a lovely topnote of violet. On the palate the wine is pure, medium-full and succulent at the core, with lovely backend mineral drive, bright acids and excellent length and grip on the complex finish. This is eight percent alcohol this year, with eight grams of acidity and around fifty grams of residual sugar. Just a lovely bottle and really showing well for having just been bottled." |
