Dr. Hermann Urziger Wurzgarten Riesling Kabinett 2022 750ml

Weingut Dr. Hermann is a VDP estate in Erden, in Germany's Mosel. It dates to 1967, when the Joh. Jos. Christoffel Erben estate in Ürzig was divided and Dr. Hermann, a physician, set up his own winery. His grandson Christian Hermann runs it today.

This is the regular Kabinett from the Ürziger Würzgarten, a cru of red, iron-rich volcanic rhyolite, sandstone and slate. The vines are 40 to 80 years old, and the wine is fermented in stainless steel. It's a fruity Kabinett rather than a dry one, at just 7.5% alcohol, under screw cap.

Expect stone fruit, red berry and spice over a flinty, slaty core, light and saline, with real finesse and tension.

Against Dr. Loosen Dr. L Riesling, this is a single-cru Kabinett from ungrafted old vines; for a Mosel Riesling with a named vineyard behind it, choose the Dr. Hermann.

Serve it well chilled, around 45°F, with spicy Asian dishes, smoked fish or pork with apples.
