Fantastic anise and fennel complexity for a wine that is still light- to medium-bodied. Terrific drive and raciness on the compact and structured palate. Fantastic length. Beautiful balance in the long, complete finish. Drink or hold. Screw cap.

The 2023 Erdener Treppchen Kabinett is deep and flinty on the coolish but aromatic nose that indicates ripe and concentrated pineapple and peach fruit spiced with blue slate shards. Round and playful on the palate, this is a generous but elegant and stimulating Treppchen Kabinett for hedonists. It is the sweetest or richest of the Kabinett Rieslings tasted for this issue, yet its saline, savory and crisp finish is truly uplifting. 8.5% stated alcohol.
