F.W. Langguth Erben Kabinett 2008

It's been a busy last couple of weeks, so it's taken me an unforgivable amount of time to get this bottle up on the blog.

In their words:
Erben Kabinett is a refreshingly light, fruity white wine with a delicate fragrant finish. An ideal food match with Sushi, salads, white fish and oriental cuisine. Serve chilled.

In my words:
While not all that complex or impressive, Erben Kabinett was a satisfying enough aperitif for Thanksgiving. The nose was full of peaches, apricots, lime, and honey, with a streak of fresh hay running underneath. The mouth feel was light and round, with a medium dry level of sweetness.

I've had no small amount of trouble trying to find out just what varietals are used in this blend. That it has a great deal of Riesling is obvious, but the others are a little murkier. Could be Silvaner, could be Muller-Thurgau, could be both or something else entirely.
