Tasting - Ress Hattenheimer Schutzenhaus Kabinett


 
Name: Ress Hattenheimer Schutzenhaus Kabinett
Variety: 100% Riesling
Region: Rheingau
Country: Germany
Year: 2006
Price: $11.95
Tasting Date: January 24, 2013
Location: Independently tasted  
Food Pairing: None

Winery Review: This Riesling has the nose of a pineapple Lifesaver candy, honey and petroleum with flavors of peach, citrus and a hint of caramel. Well rounded white Riesling with crisp and refreshing acidity. Sleek mouth feel, medium bodied but a bit tart on the finish.

My Thoughts: Aroma of citrus. Hints of pineapple and lemon. Smooth, light mouth feel. Tart with flavors of lemon, grapefruit, and passion fruit. Very tart finish. Overall very light and crisp. More bitter than the other Rieslings I have tasted. Thumbs up, need to find more tart whites to drink.
