Here are some rarities; Prädikat Rheingau wines like they were made 100 years ago – which is to say very little residual sugar. This whispy Rheingau Kabinett has only 11 grams of residual sugar; at most places in the Mosel this would be a dry wine and even here the vigor is apparent (it is over 8 grams of acid). This is superb, angelic, floral and flinty, citrus and grass, brisk apple and mineral. I think this is sorta an epic wine, the absolute last of the real Rheingau Kabinetts.
