The Ellergrub Kabinett is the masterpiece of the Kabinett lineup, the most mineral and dense, the most structured. I’d say that this is most often the most complex and normally the toughest of the Kabinetts; it can require time to join together completely.
A deep nose that comes from the large portion of ungrafted vines that are 110-years-old and older. There is a flinty and nearly smokey tone before the yellow fruits arrive in the palate finishing with fine herbal flavors. A zappy and elegant wine.
Konstantin Weiser and Alexandra Künstler are as soulful as the vineyards they farm; this is a micro-estate with only around 4 hectares total. They very literally do everything by hand, working the sites both organically and biodynamically. They are in the vines daily and it’s immediately obvious that this is where they’re most comfortable – it’s obvious that they love their vineyards.
