Kai Schätzel Riesling Niersteiner Kabinett 2017

White
Rheinhessen, Germany

Residual sugar sits in the low 40s, nudging higher than previous vintages, yet the wine never tips into cloying territory, brisk citrus keeps everything lifted and refreshing. A faint smokiness threads through the background, lending just enough intrigue to what is otherwise a clean, straightforward Kabinett. The finish lingers pleasantly without demanding much of the drinker. Drink now through 2025.
