Weiser-Künstler
Kabinett Trabener Gaispfad trocken 2020
Germany
About the SessionThis is the largest list of German wines Strauss & Co has ever offered! Once regarded as the greatest wines in the world, German and specifically Mosel Riesling are long aging and investment worthy. Running deep through the Mosel, Saar and Ruwer and across celebrated vintages including the ripe 2009, the warm 2018 and the racy, acclaimed 2019.
‘Trocken’ is the dry Riesling style, while ‘Kabinett’ is off-dry and ‘Spatlese’ and ‘Auslese’ are much sweeter. Another pointer, Is that the higher the alcohol, the more likely the wine is to be drier in style.

Critics Ratings
"Smoky 'positive sulphides' (as opposed to sinus-irritating sulfites). Succulent, moreish, smoky fruit. Both complex and pure. Mouth-watering with a slightly sour note to the fresh finish." - Julia Harding MW, JancisRobinson.com, 16.5/20 (Nov 2022)
