The Most UNIQUE Wine Style in the World?

Describing the colour of wine as "morning urine" absolutely sent me 😂😂😂

Still the best wine channel on YouTube

The statement you gave about enjoying a wine vs rating a wine was perfect!

I appreciate how hard you work to keep your personal tastes out of how you rate the wines. That shows a lot of integrity. 💜

A breakfast wine? Never heard of that and it will be difficult to explain that to my wife. 😂

German riesling wine is a piece of art; so much so, that after tasting a 2011 GG from S.A. Prum, I commissioned a painting to be made, pairing it with my favourite place, wine glass, and cigar, it now decorates our living room. The incredible complexity and unreal tasting notes (everything from petrol and oudh, to hints of truffle), plus their extreme freshness even after decades and their excellent pricing levels, makes them an one of a kind experience. Kabinett riesling also holds a very dear place in my heart, having tried some wonderful examples from Dohnhoff, Dr.Loosen and S.A. Prum; haven’t had the pleasure to try a very old one though, and your video certainly intrigued me. Keep up the fantastic work, it really feels like we’re with you enjoying a glass while you’re tasting — a privilege to have an MW as company!

I so appreciate you reviewing and discussing these lower alcohol wines. The older I get the more I appreciate lower alcohol wines even though they are becoming harder and harder to find. Keep these reviews coming. I love what you do!

Some Australian vineyards make off-dry Riesling like Gundog Estate Gundaroo Riesling

Just finished a bottle of Maximin Grunhaus Herrenberg Riesling Kabinett - very nice! Will be trying more of these.

When I was 14 yo l was on a winetrip with my parents to mosel. My dad let my try a wine Bernkastel. Its the reason why l fell in love with wines and it’s still the closest to my heart along with sauternes. Love it. More of this please 🙏

The most unique wine style is surely Greek Retsina? - I love the story about how it’s basically the corked wine of the ancient world. Back then they used pine sap to seal the amphora they stored wine in, and sometimes the sap would cause the wine to spoil. However the Greeks developed a taste for the sappy wine, one that has stuck for 3,000+ years and long long since pine sap was regularly used in wine production.

Riesling IMO is the world’s most underrated white varietal. Really enjoyed learning more about the German rieslings as most of my experience has been with Alsace. Cheers 🥂

I've always wondered about having Kabinette with my corn flakes; maybe now I'll do it! Thanks! 👍👍

I am ALL ABOUT this video. Thanks so much for doing this! There is no wine I enjoy more than German Riesling, and there is so much quality there. If you haven’t already, I recommend a visit to Rhein Wein Welt in Rüdesheim, what a fantastic place. There were many memorable wines there but a fantastic Kabinett from Leitz blew me away. As you said many are made too dry, but this was so unbelievably juicy. I will happily drink this style of wine for the rest of my life!

My favourite Master of Wine tasting wines from my favourite wine country made from my favourite grape variety and to top it off: my favourite Prädikat. Although I cannot afford wines made by that icon Egon Müller, "sponti Kabi's" from the Saar region are by far my favourite white wine. I like them for the exact same reason you mentioned, always exiting, always refreshing and always wanting you to pour another glass. Salut!

Das ist so interessant! I habe nicht gedacht, dass Kabinett Weine so kompliziert, lebhaft und langlebig sein können! Total toll!

Fantastic lineup of producers. I can drink Kabinett Riesling all day everyday. It’s so refreshing and complex on its own and brilliant with food. The QPR when you’re in Germany is just off the charts too!

You're so articulate and thoughtful, no hyperbole but able to describe the ephemeral. My ideal way of evaluating anything.

Thank you for this video. The wines you presented came from some of the most iconic wine producers in the world and some with prices to match. Fortunately there are many more who produce outstanding Riesling Kabinett’s that wont break the bank, such as Selbach Oster who’s wines I think are at the same level. For me the jewel in the crown is the Moselle. There are so many vineyards here producing heavenly wines. I have just returned from a very famous wine producing region in France and was disappointed by the the price to quality ratio. I am lucky enough to live in the Moselle valley and would recommend your viewers to add it to their bucket list of wine regions to visit. You wont be disappointed.

Kabinett aside Riesling is awesome and I love how you can produce everything from dry wine (trocken) . to off dry (kabinett) to semi sweet (spatlese) to sweeter (auslese) to very sweet (eiswein) (berenauslese) all depending on the conditions of harvest. It really is a white grape varietal that has a possibility to suit every and any wine palate! Very versatile and very diverse. Reason why its one of my favorite varietals. As much as I love the german rieslings I would also love to point out how awesome Rieslings are from other parts of the world, anywhere from old world regions like austria, alsace france, switzerland, hungary etc. and new world areas like australia , washington state, california. What makes Germany special is they literally have wine laws and regulations that revolve solely around riesling, such as even thinking of oeschle which is basically measuring sugar content upon harvest to determine what wine style it is suited for. Some of my favorite Riesling I have personally tried so far have been austrian, love how intense they can be, usually made in a dryer style with loads of intensity!
