Max Ferd. Richter Elisenberger Kabinett Riesling 2022, Mosel Prädikatswein, Germany: Max Ferd., Richter Elisenberger 2022 Riesling Kabinett is produced from 50-year-old vines. Zesty, bright and pure of fruit, there are still some reductive aromas on this intense Mosel Prädikatswein mingling with ripe apple, dried orchard fruit, white florals and nutty notes, rich and silky on the palate and vibrant with a briny, stony, lemon zesty and mineral finish. I like the fact that it is 7.5% abv, so you can treat yourself to a few glasses of this delish wine. It will also continue to evolve in bottle. Enjoy it from 2028 through 2050.
