| Chateau/Producer: | Franz Künstler | | Wine Name: | Hochheimer Reichestal Kabinett | | Country: | Germany | | Region: | Rheingau | | Wine Score: | 86 | | Notes: | Normally I prefer red wines. I'll always choose a red over a white. But this wine was recommended by a friend who also prefers reds as being "a really great example of a good white wine." To my surprise, it was delicious. The color was a nice, very pale gold. The smell was sweet and fruity, light and delicate. The taste was sweet but not cloying, fruity, and very smooth. There was a hint of acidity that balanced the sweet and fruity elements very nicely, creating a very clean effect. I recommend this wine for anyone who's formed an opinion of white based on the cheap chardonnays people bring to parties. | | Tasting Date: | 2004-05-05 | | Varietal: | Riesling | | Price US$: | 14.99 |
