Kabinett

Your naturally low-alcohol summer drink

Mosel Riesling Kabinett: Slightly off-dry and balanced by electric acidity, softened with a touch of sweetness. These wines offer superb value, are naturally low in alcohol (7.5%) and have the ability to age better than most dry wines. ‘They are Germany’s unique gift to the world’s wine drinkers,’ wrote Jancis Robinson recently.

In general, Kabinett wines are light-footed and floral, with incredibly pure fruit, zest and minerality. They pair beautifully with food – whether at home or in a restaurant. Today we’re offering three of the best! The magician from the Mosel, Markus Molitor, Germany’s biodynamic godfather Clemens Busch, and cult favourite Willi Schaefer.

‘Such length, purity and exquisite balance are disarming’ wrote Vinous about the Willi Schaefer, but this can be said for all three.
