"The critics are unanimous: this exceptional Riesling offers remarkable energy, fruitiness, and complexity!"
“An extraordinary tension between the juicy aromas of white fruit and grapefruit and the wine’s smoky, stony character. The palate is extremely concentrated and full-bodied, brilliant and energetic. The finish is as straight as a laser beam. Drink now or save. Screw cap.” (James Suckling 2024) • Screw cap

About the wine:
The 2023 Niederhäuser Klamm Riesling Kabinett is pure and flavorful on the nose, revealing ripe yet fresh fruit and mineral notes. Round, lush, and flavorful on the palate, it is a crystalline and concentrated Kabinett—dense and full of character—whose sweetness is better integrated than in the Leistenberg. This Klamm Kabinett is intense and juicy, yet also elegant and refined—rather light and invigorating. Declared alcohol content: 9%. Screw cap. Tasted in October 2024. 2028–2050

Wine rated (2024 guide) 17/20
About the wine:
A complex nose, with all the fruit notes present and well-defined. Lemon tart and baked apples. Juicy, concentrated, balanced—and much less lively than the Leistenberg. A serious Kabinett. A clean, enticing bitterness on the long, lingering finish. 2026–2038

About the wine:
This Kabinett plays on multiple levels, offering a hint of freshness against a sweet backdrop. It reveals a candied quality, complemented by freshness and minerality. The wine has a soft attack, with verve, tension, and clarity. A concise, charming, and stimulating wine. Best enjoyed through 2043.
