Gabel Riesling owes much of its character to the diverse and fertile landscapes of Germany’s vineyards. The country’s wine regions, mainly situated along the rivers Rhine, Mosel, Pfalz and Main, are blessed with a continental climate, where warm summers and cold winters provide ideal conditions for Riesling cultivation. The vineyards’ soil composition, which varies from slate, loam, and clay to volcanic elements, contributes to the complexity of the wines, giving them a distinct and authentic taste.

The Gabel estate carefully tends to its vineyards, employing sustainable farming practices that prioritize the health of the vines and the environment. The use of traditional methods, such as hand-harvesting the grapes, allows for selective picking, ensuring that only the finest and ripest fruit makes its way into the winery.

Gabel’s winemaking process is a delicate dance of combining old-world wisdom with contemporary expertise. The Riesling grapes are gently pressed, and the juice is then fermented at controlled temperatures to preserve the grape’s natural aromas and flavours. The winemaker’s skill is showcased in their ability to balance the wine’s sweetness, acidity, and alcohol content, creating a harmonious and well-structured final product.

On the nose is a delightful bouquet of citrus fruits, floral notes, and mineral nuances. On the palate, the wines impress with a perfect balance of sweetness and acidity, creating a refreshing, crisp taste that lingers with a long and satisfying finish.

This Riesling offers a delightful play between sweetness and acidity, making them ideal companions for spicy dishes, seafood, or even on their own as a relaxing aperitif.
