Weingut Keller Riesling Kabinett 2007
16 bucks from Chambers when it was on sale. I should have bought a LOT more. A bit of sulphur initially and once that blows off this shows incredibly pure, clean flavours of lemons, pear, minerals and some hints of cherry. Incredible precision and focus with bright acidity and a medium length finish. Tastes almost dry (feels like a halbtrocken), fantastic with food. I need to grab more of this when I'm next in NY. Meulenhof Erdener Pralat Riesling Spatlese 2005 And to the opposite end of the residual sugar spectrum. I love Meulenhof's wines - they're incredibly inexpensive, crammed with very ripe fruit (while still retaining that Mosel minerality and elegance), usually quite sweet and accessible and this is no different. Lots of sweet youthful fruit here - apple, yellow plums, peach and some floral notes with some slate and faintly herbal notes underneath. There's decent acidity keeping it in balance, although it's barely felt under the richness of the wine (this could easily pass as Auslese from most other producers). Another easy thumbs up. |

Meulenhof sounds good, I agree re the Keller, thanks |
