2023 Weingut Müller-Catoir "Gimmeldinger" Riesling Kabinett, Pfalz, GermanyABOUT THIS WINE 100% Riesling made in an off dry style. In the cellar, the approach is generally very hands off, but the treatment of the fruit changes slightly vintage, by vintage. Minimal handling, spontaneous fermentations, mostly in stainless steel and long contact with the lees are the hallmarks of the style at this address. Every wine produced here is 100% estate grown and the treatment of each vineyard is the same, regardless of hierarchy.
