Theo Minges Flemlinger Zechpeter Riesling Kabinett

Lime and ginger reprise – along with pineapple and quince – on the nose and luscious, bright, salt-tinged palate of Minges’ 2007 Flemlinger Zechpeter Riesling Kabinett. While quite sweet, and with a palpable sense of stuffing that belies its low alcohol, this manages to preserve outstanding refreshment and a sense of surprisingly clear, persistent fruit and underlying mineral salts. It should be well-worth following for as long as a decade, and indeed I would opt not to revisit it until a half dozen or more years had elapsed in which its superficial sense of sweetness had backed off, quite possibly revealing further mineral nuance. For the most part, Theo Minges achieved admirable results in 2007, a vintage he saw as playing into his hand by promoting inherent clarity, nuance, and “energy, so that all you had to do in the cellar was direct it.”Importer: Terry Theise Estate Selections, imported by Michael Skurnik Wines, Inc., Syosset, NY; tel.
