Almond and vanilla cream are co-mingled with melon and apple on a palate of satiny, lees-enhanced richness and vivid buoyancy. This manages to soothe and refresh in an unbeatable if not inimitable 2008 way, with brown spices and crushed stone adding complexity to its lingering finish.

How can something that is so light in alcohol have such incredible palate weight and texture? It's an art form and Ernst Loosen is a master. The Kabinett style means a decent lick of residual sugar, but the steely, crunchy acid means you'll hardly notice it. Simply stunning.

The Domäne Serrig Kabinett 2020 is a beautifully crafted wine from the renowned Mosel region in Germany. This vintage, produced by the esteemed Domäne Serrig, is a true testament to the quality of German winemaking. Upon pouring, the wine reveals a pale straw colour with hints of green, reminiscent of the vibrant and lush hills of Mosel. On the nose, delicate aromas of crisp green apple, juicy pear and zesty citrus dance playfully, intermingled with subtle floral notes. On the palate, the wine is elegant and refined, with a perfect balance of sweetness and acidity. Crisp flavours of green apple and pear are complemented by hints of lime and nectarine, leading to a clean and refreshing finish. Overall, the Domäne Serrig Kabinett 2020 is a delightful representation of the terroir of Mosel. It is a must-try for any lover of German wines, and will surely leave a lasting impression.

This cuvée is a blend of fruit from high altitude Estate vineyards - including the brilliantly named Sandgrub vineyard - dotted around the village. There's a good dollop of Wasseros too, a fine vineyard which wraps around the Gräfenberg Grosse Lage. We've had some great bottles of this wine over the years, but few with the kind of horsepower on offer here. Racy and cool, with citrus and ripe stone fruit, yet balanced by fabulous, mouth-watering acidity; this is the sort of wine that will make Riesling lovers shudder with pleasure. Robert Weil doesn't make 'entry level' wines, as this clearly shows.
