Bollig Lehnert Trittenheimer Apotheke Riesling Kabinett (75cl, 8.2%)

A Mosel Riesling Kabinett from the steep, slate-rich Apotheke vineyard in Trittenheim, produced by the family estate Bollig-Lehnert. The wine is 8.2% ABV and made without chaptalization. Stefan Bollig has directed operations since 1987, and the family tends roughly four hectares of vineyards. The Apotheke site has blue and black decomposing slate soils. The aroma is elderflower, green apple, lime zest, black currant leaf and slate-driven minerality. The palate is crisp, with green apple, citrus, guava, pineapple, ripe peach and subtle honeyed sweetness, kept taut by vibrant acidity. The finish is medium in length, with apple, wet slate and zesty citrus.
