Kai Schätzel Riesling Niersteiner Pettenthal Kabinett S 2017
White
Rheinhessen, Germany
7.6
WineSaint
Lime blossom and white peach open things up, then that telltale Pettenthal smokiness drifts in underneath. At just 7.5% alcohol, the wine carries surprising depth and a taut, focused tension. The residual sweetness is perfectly calibrated — light enough that the fruit reads pure and transparent rather than sweet. A lovely, weightless Kabinett that floats rather than pushes.
