Johannes Joseph Christoffell Reisling Kabinett

A

The Christoffels attribute the remarkable intensity and purity of their wines in part to ancient own-rooted vines. bright tropical aromas of pineapple and papaya are tinged with notes of minerals and a lightly herbaceous edge, with hints of spearmint and pine. All about pure fruit and stony mineral flavors. Apricot, honeycomb and a bit of anise. The wine’s acidity will cut the richness of salty, savory meats like port and poultry, while its delicacy will beautifully match that of fish and shellfish
