Tasting notes
A very delicate and expressive nose, subtle violet and rose notes. The palate is off dry with less florality and far more orchard fruit. Clean and moderately long finish. Interesting as the nose and palate are totally different! (AC)

The 2019 Zeltinger Schlossberg Riesling Kabinett is pure and flinty on the pure, elegant, terroir-driven nose. Piquant and crystalline on the palate, this is a crunchy and crispy, well-concentrated and nicely phenolic Schlossberg with juicy fruit but a crystalline and refined finish. Very long and stimulatingly salty. Tasted at the domain in September 2020.
On the nose the fragrance of ripe green fruit is joined by some subtle spicy and mineral nuances. Deliciously juicy on the palate with the fresh fruit of sweet pear and melon, tingling acidity and perfectly pitched residual sugar. (MS)
