Kilburg, Max 2025 Treppchen Vorm Berg Riesling Kabinett (Arrives 11/18)

Importer Vom Boden: Special note should be made of the new addition to the Kabinett lineup, the Treppchen “vorm Berg.” This is a small, two-hectare site just behind the estate (if memory serves). Max is now farming a whopping 3,000 square meters (about a third of a hectare) of old ungrafted vines here. I thought the wine was superb… like shockingly good – tense, agile. These are amongst the oldest vines the estate has - an old, terraced vineyard and directly across the valley/road from Ohligsberg. The most west facing but shaded from the above forest. Deep, flinty, a riddle and coiled.
