Schloss Reinhartshausen Hattenheimer Wisselbrunner Riesling Kabinett 2009 10.5 % alcohol about $18.
Let’s start by quoting the marketing materials. “Tasting Note : A
hedonistic sweet-edged riesling from a renowned producer who once tried
to grow chardonnay in Germany. Tangerine, apple, jasmine, lime candy
drops and a lemon tart delivery. Mouth-wateringly good. Score – 91.
(Gordon Stimmell, The Toronto Star, Aug. 22, 2011)” And now for my
review.
At the first sips this wine was deliciously honeyed with good
acidity. The first meal centered on home made chicken breast nuggets
dusted with garlic powder and black pepper. In response the Riesling was
quite long and I noted tangerines. The side Matbucha salad consisting
of tomatoes, tomato puree, sweet pimentos, hot peppers, garlic rendered
the libation quite long and somewhat syrupy. Dousing the meat with
Jalapeno pepper mix sharpened our German friend’s acidity while
retaining its balance with the sweetness. It deepened and was so long.
Fresh raspberries imparted tangy acidity to my glass along with lots of
tangerines.
