Seehof Description

Potomac

Florian Faust is the fifth generation of his family to run this 17.5 hectare estate. The estate is located in Westhofen, with vines in three of the most prestigious vineyards around the village: Kirchspiel, Morstein and Steingrube. This area of the Rheinhessen is characterized by limestone soils, which give the wines richness and a firm structure, but also great fruit purity and a saline minerality. The Rheinhessen is Germany's driest wine-producing region, and also its sunniest, which adds to the concentration and extract found in many of the region's wines. For Florian, most of his work is done in the vineyard, making sure the ripeness and phenolic complexity is there, without the corresponding alcohol and glycerol heft. He is a master at achieving this delicate balancing act, and as a result, his wines are absolutely dazzling.

Seehof's Morstein Kabinett Riesling is a gorgeous wine that shows the pedigree of this stunning vineyard. Located in the Rheinhessen around the village of Westhofen, the Morstein vineyard is planted on heavy clay marl with a deep limestone aquifer that provides the vines with water, minerals and nutrients, especially during dry spells. The vines face south on a 20-25% slope at altitudes between 180 and 240 meters. The Morstein vineyard was first mentioned as “Marsten” in 1282 and the name probably comes from a rock border marker, a “Marstein”. The Seehof Morstein Kabinett pours a brilliant light lemon color. The nose is an intoxicating medley of Meyer lemon, salted pomelo and lime with notes of green papaya, clementine, mint and stone. Inhaling the aromas is almost enough to satisfy... until you taste the wine. The palate is a beautiful expression of flavor, framed by a filigree, gossamer acidity that is so fine it feels like it could cut a diamond. The acidity balances the sugar to perfection: there is no cloying sweetness, just an elegant dance of fruit, acid and sugar where every component perfectly anticipates the moves of the others, creating a taste experience that will take your breath away. The finish is long and delicate with a lovely mineral undertone that gives the wine an extra complexity. I wouldn't describe the wine as sweet, but I wouldn't describe it as dry either — it is the epitome of a stunning Kabinett Riesling.
