2021 Domane Serrig Vogelsang Kabinett

The German winery Markus Molitor, famous for its impressive range of wines from the Mosel, acquired the Domäne Serrig vineyard in the Saar Valley in 2016. Domäne Serrig is the former Prussian state estate that was founded in 1904 by Kaiser Wilhelm. Markus Molitor has extensively restructured the 25-hectare Serriger Vogelsang vineyard and is now launching the very first releases. Due to the unique history of the vineyard, the wines are marketed as Domäne Serrig. The first ratings are immediately high: Wine Advocate awards 100 points to the Grosse Lage! The Vogelsang vineyard is located in the south/southwest and at an altitude of 220-340 metres. After 10 months of lie maturation, the bottles were first stored in the wine cellars for 2 years. The Kabinett matures in steel tanks, the Grosse Lage in oak Stockinger barrels. Markus Molitor is a German star winemaker and Riesling 'Supermo' with 23x100 points and 35x99 points from renowned critics such as Wine Advocate & James Suckling.

The Vogelsang Kabinett is pure, clear and fresh with a very delicate and sharp nose that shows precise and elegant fruit, interwoven with the serious, hard minerality of the domaine's grey and red slate soils plus cool vegetal nuances of nettle and mint. Round and intense yet light and elegant on the palate, this is a pure, opulent and round yet very mineral, beautifully playful and flavoursome Kabinett. The sweetness is discreet and is balanced by the immense mineral and salty taste. The finish is spectacularly long and tense, even at this age extremely complex and stimulating. This classic Kabinett is reminiscent of Egon Müller's finest Scharzhofberger Kabinetts.

DOMÄNE SERRIG was founded in 1904 as a Royal Prussian state estate in the Saar Valley; one of the largest and most avant-garde state estates of its time. The estate was privatized in the late 1980s and later taken over by Markus Molitor in 2016. Only then did the estate benefit from extensive recultivation and restructuring of the site. The name of the vineyard is Volgelsang, a 25-hectare monopole of unique quality, facing south/southwest, with vines rising steeply from 150 to 340 meters on reddish slate soils and slopes of up to 105%. Purist winemaking with hand-harvested and selected grapes, maceration of the skins (to reduce acidity), pressing through a traditional basket, natural spontaneous fermentation, maturation on the lees for 10 months in large Stockinger (Austrian) barrels (3,000 l) and then a further 2 years of bottle maturation before release.
