From iron-rich Rotliegend soils the dry 2013 Urziger Wurzgarten Riesling Kabinett (White Capsule) offers a very pure and clear, bright and complex bouquet of wet volcanic stones, bright fruit flavors, lime peel, aromatic herbs and blossoms. On the palate this medium-bodied Kabinett displays already a clear terroir character and a stringent, tension-full mineralty as well as a lingering and extremely stimulating salinity. This is a great Würzgarten Kabinett full of tension and something like mineral juice. Great purity and character. - Stephan Reinhardt

Demure apple and pear aromas belie the intensely honeyed peach and tropical fruit flavors that burst from this feather-light nectar. A crush of lemon-lime acidity cuts through the sweetness, leading a long, laser-focused finish. Drinks well now, but will develop well through at least 2025.
