If you want to understand the concept of minerality in wine, I recommend this wine. Value? Check. At $14/bottle, this German riesling would complement a spicy Chinese/Thai dish extremely well. Length? You bet. The minerality extends at least 30 seconds, which is a great sign for a white wine.
Kabinetts tend to be less sweet than their Auslese or Spatlese counterparts and this wine certainly fits that bill. The overall mouth-feel is medium bodied for a ries and really holds it own alongside food.
If you are having a dinner party or heading to a BYOB with friends and you are in the mood for a riesling, I recommend a kabinett because it is more likely to be enjoyed with all types of white wine drinkers. Many ausleses and spatleses are not necessarily appreciated by people that like dry wines. On the other hand, for people that like sweet wines, there is just enough sugar and sweetness for you as well!
I highly recommend this wine.
