Dr. Loosen Blue Slate 23

Kabinett is German Riesling at its most elegant and most misunderstood—lightly sweet, low in alcohol (around 8%), and balanced by a backbone of racy acidity that makes the sweetness feel almost weightless. Dr. Loosen's Blue Slate Kabinett comes from high-elevation parcels in the Mosel villages of Bernkastel, Graach, and Wehlen, where the ancient blue Devonian slate soils give the wine its cool, flinty mineral edge. White peach, apricot, blossom, and a pulse of electric lime—serve it cold as an aperitif or with anything spicy, and reconsider everything you thought you knew about sweet wine
