- TASTING NOTE: "This dry riesling Kabinett deftly squares the circle of light body (just 10.5% alcohol) and ripe aromas - think fresh pineapple and star fruit. Key to that is the lively, yet silky acidity that’s underlined by a delicate touch of fine tannin at the long, citrusy finish." 91 Points - James Suckling

ABOUT THE WINE: The grapes are harvested with up to five selective pickings by hand. They're crushed and then macerated between 12 to 24 hours before undergoing spontaneous fermentation. The wines are aged in tradtional oval-shaped oak or chesnut barrels ranging from 300 to 2400 litres, with up to nine months on lees.

ABOUT THE PRODUCER: "Koehler-Ruprecht is one of the oldest, most distinctive wineries in the Pfalz region. It first came to our attention many years ago when the late, great Berhnard Breuer introduced me to Koehler-Ruprecht legend Bernd Philippi with whom Bernhard had partnership projects in Spain and South Africa at the time. Bernd later came to Australia for one of the Frankland Estate Riesling tastings to present aged examples of their most famous single-vineyard wine, the Kallstadter Saumagen. Years went by and it wasn’t until 2012 that I visited the winery for the first time, which is now owned by the Sauvage family of Burn Cottage fame. The time had arrived to bring these in, albeit in the tiny quantities in which they are available. Made using only the finest hand-selected grapes, which undergo spontaneous fermentation in very old wooden barrels, these amazingly long-living Rieslings buck the trend when it comes to what we have more recently come to understand as dry German Riesling. Variety is the spice of life eh? Biodynamic producer" Importer notes
