Weingut Reinhard und Beate Knebel Winninger Hamm Riesling Kabinett 2007

As it is the start of spring I would encourage everyone to go out a purchase 12 Rieslings to sip on with friends, family or by yourself. They are brilliant value and a joy to drink as they are so diverse in flavours.  Each one unique!

There is a lovely sense of spring in this wine.  The blend of richness, stone fruits and baked apples, is perfectly balanced with lightness in the form of gunpowder, lime, cut quartz and floral notes.  There is also a textural element that takes up the enjoyment factor of the wine that is missing in so many of the Aussie versions.  It is a little unfair to compare this magnificent beauty with Aussie Riesling as they are made in two totally different styles but I really loved that something extra that is brought to the table.
