The Riesling grapes are sourced from vineyard sites near the village of Kasel in the Ruwer valley - characterised by loose slate soils. They are hand-picked, undergo selection, and then are fermented in small stainless steel tanks. The wine rests for a few months on its fine lees, before bottling the spring following the harvest.
Bischofliche Kaseler Riesling Kabinett Trocken on the nose this has subtle aromas of elderflower, with the palate giving a remarkably punchy contrast full of steely, lime and grapefruit flavours underpinned by a mineral backbone. The finish is long with delicate petrol aromas.
Pair with lightly spiced Asian cuisine - perhaps pork or fish dishes. The racy acidity means it could easily stand up to a lively, limey ceviche.

Bischöfliche Kaseler Riesling Kabinett Trocken 2020*: ” …exhibits a clear, bright, fresh and pure, spicy-mineral as well as herbal/floral nose that is more stony than fruity and represents a classic Riesling Kabinett from the Ruwer. Filigreed, refined and very elegant on the palate, this is a delicate but also remarkably tight, intense and characterful, mineral-driven Kabinett with perfect roundness and Ruwer finesse. 91pts.” Stephan Reinhardt, The Wine Advocate (December 2021)
