Wine Masochist
Submitted by Barry’s Wine Notes & Memories
One of the late arrivals from the batch of Rieslings 2007 I ordered. Worth waiting for…. The label for the Buschs’ basic Kabinett bears no vineyard designation despite coming from Marienburg. Grown on soils of gray slate, the grapes were vinified by a long, cool wild-yeast fermentation in old oak barrels.
Clemens Busch Riesling Kabinett trocken 2007 Mosel, Germany
Medium pale colour….minerals galore in the glass…classic ‘dry’ Riesling aroma..difficult to pinpoint a definite fruit..maybe quince…dancing soft needles on the tongue (I am a wine masochist)…perfect weight…juices suround a steely..slightly lemony flavour. Some recent Kabinetts have had Restsüß (residual sweetness)…but this is a sparkly dry wine of fine elegance.
