93Stephan Reinhardt - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
"The 2018 Saar Riesling Kabinett is beautifully clear and flinty on the attractively reductive and floral nose. On the palate, this is enormously mineral, salty and super tensioned Riesling with just 7.5% alcohol and a sweetness (68 grams per liter) that you don’t taste due to the salty-piquant and mineral finish. This is a stellar Kabinett and Riesling that freaks shouldn’t miss. How stimulating and mouthwatering! The grapes were sourced between September 23 and 25 from roughly 30-year-old vines in Niedermennig, Obermennig, Krettanch and Oberemmel and came in at 83° Oechsle. 26,000 bottles produced. A picture-book Kabinett. Tasted from AP 01 19 in June 2019."
Product Description:
Von Hovel's 2018 Saar Kabinett Riesling is just absolutely fantastic. In every sense of the word. It's vibrant and fresh. It's got a ton of complexity and character. It's a Kabinett Riesling that is made in a dry style as the 68 grams per liter of sweetness is impossible to even detect (as the review notes).
It's amazing with food. It's a knock out wine to bring to your next BBQ or out to a meal. It's just one of the most amazing bottles of white wine you will ever taste under $20!
