This classic Mosel Kabinett style from Vineland Estates Winery's St. Urban Vineyard is simply moreish. One of Canada's oldest Riesling plantings from 1979 expresses itself with intense aromas of green apples and wet stone. Bracing acidity and elevated residual sugar are well integrated, creating satisfying tension and a long, concentrated finish. Enjoyable in its youth, but the structure and history of this vineyard suggest it's worth seeing how this evolves over the next several years.
