Juicy fresh apple and honeydew melon are garlanded with honeysuckle and heliotrope as well as touched with wet stone and vanilla in the light, site-typical Weins-Prum 2011 Wehlener Sonnenuhr Riesling Kabinett. A delightful, invigorating hint of cinnamon stick and a saliva-liberating lick of salt join the fruit and stone in an infectiously and refreshingly lingering finish. Enjoy this little classic of its type through at least 2025. Bert Selbach expressed relief at a string of vintages (2012 having already been destined when he spoke to yield moderate Oechsle) whose wines he could call “classical” exemplars of Middle Mosel Riesling, and half of which in 2011 were Kabinetts. In vigorous defense of a category whose integrity and survival greatly concern me as well, Selbach challenged his Mosel colleagues and, by inference, certain segments of the wine press: “either we make a continued effort to render genuine, slim Kabinett that one can drink, or else we just make dry wines and thickly sweet wines but then let’s be honest about it and not talk about ‘Kabinett.’” Picking here focused on the first half of October, beginning, not surprisingly, with the Kabinetts. As a group, though, this vintage’s Weins-Prum Spatlesen were especially successful. Selbach believes that his more precocious parcels were qualitatively favored because their flowering was slightly disrupted and they ended up with considerable millerandage, whereas what flowered later did so more “successfully,” meaning a larger set, and higher juice-to-skin ratios. Incidentally, the lucky positioning of Selbach’s parcels in Wehlener Sonnenuhr has resulted in his not having had to replant most of them as part of the ongoing (and controversial) Flurbereinigung (a nearly wholesale overhaul and redistribution of slopes, infrastructure, and vines that most of Germany’s best-known vineyards have undergone at some juncture over the past 60 years).

Aromas of passion fruit and nut oil. The creamy tropical fruits flavors are light, well-balanced and elegant. Certainly fun to drink.
