About this wine :

A German fruity white wine from Mosel, made from Riesling grapes sourced from the Rottgen single vineyard. The vineyard is situated on a steep slope with an incline of up to 81 degrees, making cultivation a challenging & labor-intensive process. The wine exhibits a golden color & elegant floral aromas, accompanied by fresh fruit notes, lemon & a subtle hint of smokiness. It is vibrant & lively, with mouthwatering acidity that adds to its allure. The wine has a solid & layered structure, representing a textbook example of its style. It is suitable for current consumption & can also be aged for 8-10 years. The alcohol content is 7.5%.

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate - "The 2019 Röttgen Kabinett is pure and fresh yet ripe and concentrated as well as intense on the stony and floral nose. On the palate, this is a juicy, pure, piquant, well-concentrated and refreshing Kabinett with substance, serious grip, depth and intensity. Picked on September 22, this is a terroir-driven Kabinett that should be cellared for at least 5-7 years."

James Suckling - "Notes of dried flowers and gently flinty rocks lead to a lightly sweet palate that has a smooth delivery of white-peach and lime flavors."

As a child, there was no doubt in Matthias Knebel's mind that he would become a winegrower like his father, Rheinhard. But as a teenager, Matthias had second thoughts. He saw first hand just how grinding the work could be. Ultimately, he was convinced by the magic of wine itself and made the decision to follow family tradition. 

The total focus at Knebel is riesling. And the particular joy of the wines comes from Matthias’ feel for allowing the grape to translate the specific idioms of each of his parcels. Within these sites, every terrace has its own microterroir, influenced by a high variation in soil composition, exposition, and vine age. From Hamm come wines of herbal spiciness; Brückstück, concentration and elegance, Röttgen, fruity forcefulness, and Uhlen, succulent density. These sites are legendary among lovers of steep-slope riesling. From vintage to vintage, the wines have vaulted in complexity and finesse, resonance and vibrance as Matthias attunes himself to the character of each parcel and the demands of farming these sites in a warming world.

“We see ourselves as accompanists to our wines,” says Matthias. “Accompanying an idea, an objective, a concept of style. But we like to allow singularities, edginess, particularities to come through. We want every vineyard, every site, each vintage, and even each cask to be allowed to show its own character, to observe its development. That means accepting what we have been given: not making a big vintage leaner or a lean one heavier. In this way we’re committed to the ideas of natural wine.”
