The Merkelbach brothers may have passed the reins, but their legacy lives on in bottlings like this—classically made Mosel Riesling from the steep, red-slate slopes of Ürziger Würzgarten. At just 8% alcohol and with that signature Kabinett balance, the 2023 is light as air, but quietly complex.
This isn’t Riesling that aims to impress with scale. It’s about timing and touch—picked early enough to preserve acidity, fermented slowly in old fuder, and bottled with a few grams of natural sweetness to keep everything in graceful motion. There's fruit, of course—think apple skin, white peach, maybe a bit of lime—but the real story is in the wine’s rhythm: cool, clear, and humming with energy.
Drink it now with spicy food or light fare, or cellar it for a few years to watch the edges soften and the slate come forward. For fans of old-school Mosel—delicate, poised, and made to dance rather than shout—this is exactly the kind of bottle that made Kabinett legendary in the first place.

WINE GUIDES
German Wines
Is there a better grape than Riesling? Is there a better value? Its fruit purity, its perfume, and its mineral nuance are all unparalleled. And for centuries, the top German Rieslings were priced accordingly: at least as expensive as the top red wines of Bordeaux and Burgundy. But nowadays you could spend a lifetime exploring Germany’s great Riesling-producing regions while staying well within your budget. You might take an occasional break to try Germany’s other white grapes or perhaps a glass of Spätburgunder (the local name for Pinot Noir). It’s time to get started!
