Generous pear fruit and substance for a Kabinett, but they're married to bright, citrusy acidity that makes this uplifting and appealing. Just beginning to show its considerable finesse. Drink or hold
 
93 Points Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The 2018 Graacher Himmelreich Kabinett is bright, precise and floral on the slightly flinty, very elegant and finessed nose with crunchy slate aromas. Piquant and fresh on the filigreed and crystalline palate, this is a lush and tropical-flavored, buoyant and frisky Himmelreich with juicy apricot and white peach aromas and the fine grip pf broken slate. The finish is straight, piquant, well structured, stimulatingly fresh and salty. This is a gorgeous 2018 that tastes almost dry in the end. Tasted at the domain in September 2020.

Succulent flavors of pineapple, lemon and mango dance and dart on the palate of this spry little Kabinett. It's an intensely fruity, juicy sip but anchored by a reverberating backbone of acidity and lingering notes of earth, smoke, spice and animal. Delightful already, but there's so much potential for cellaring, too.
 
Winemaker Notes
On the nose, fresh and minerally with floral aromas and flavors. On the palate, very juicy, racy, and precise. Pair with Asian dishes or cheese and desserts.
