The 2024 Ansgar Clüsserath Trittenheim Riesling Kabinett is an elegant German white wine from the Mosel region, produced by the family-owned Weingut Ansgar Clüsserath in the picturesque village of Trittenheim. Crafted from Riesling, this wine reflects the Mosel Valley's steep slate-covered vineyards, cool continental climate and long growing season, which encourage vibrant acidity and delicate aromatic complexity. Its anticipated bouquet reveals fresh green apple, white peach, ripe pear and juicy lime, complemented by notes of honeysuckle, citrus blossom and subtle wet slate. The classic Kabinett style brings together expressive fruit, graceful lightness and a delicate touch of sweetness.
On the palate, it is expected to be light-bodied with lively acidity and a beautifully balanced, gently sweet fruit character. Flavours of crisp apple, white nectarine, ripe apricot and lemon zest unfold alongside hints of mandarin, delicate floral notes and subtle mineral complexity. Its refreshing acidity balances the natural sweetness, creating an elegant Riesling with precision, freshness and a delicate mouthfeel. The finish is long and refreshing, leaving lingering impressions of citrus, orchard fruit and fine slate-like minerality.
