Markus Molitor Kinheimer Rosenberg Riesling Kabinett Off Dry 2015 is a finely balanced Mosel Riesling from steep slate slopes above Kinheim, offering aromas of citrus, nectarine and melon with a touch of tropical fruit and gentle spice. Light in alcohol yet flavourful, it shows a subtly off‑dry palate where ripe stone and tropical fruit are lifted by fresh acidity, finishing with a long, refreshing, mineral edge. Serve at 8–10°C; enjoy now or over the next few years for its graceful maturity and evolving honeyed nuances.

This Kabinett Off Dry comes from the Kinheimer Rosenberg vineyard in the middle Mosel, a classic steep site of slate soils that give Riesling its characteristic combination of bright fruit and pronounced minerality. In the 2015 vintage, warm days and cool nights allowed grapes to reach good ripeness at Kabinett must weights while retaining vibrant acidity, ideal for an off‑dry style that remains light on its feet.​

Grapes are hand‑harvested, gently pressed and fermented at cool temperatures, with fermentation stopped before all sugars are consumed to retain a modest amount of residual sweetness. Ageing on fine lees in stainless steel helps to polish the texture and knit together fruit, sweetness and acidity, yielding a wine that is both refreshing and subtly creamy, with clear expression of Mosel slate.​

Tasting Notes

  • Nose: Hints of tropical fruit, nectarine, melon and pineapple, alongside citrus and light floral notes.​

  • Palate: Off‑dry with attractive pie‑crust character, juicy stone‑ and tropical‑fruit flavours and a charming interplay of fruit and acidity.​

  • Finish: Clean and refreshing, with lingering fruit, gentle sweetness and a fine mineral streak.​

Awards and Accolades
A published critic note for the 2015 Kinheimer Rosenberg Kabinett (green capsule) praises its “attractive pie crust character and a charming interplay of fruit and acidity” and recommends drinking it through 2025, implying a solid quality level in line with classic Mosel Kabinett benchmarks. While a precise numeric score is not clearly shown, aggregated ratings place this wine comfortably in the good‑to‑very‑good range for the vintage among Mosel Kabinetts.​

Serving and Cellaring
Serve at 8–10°C in small white‑wine glasses, giving the wine a few minutes in the glass to let its tropical‑fruit and honeyed notes unfold. This off‑dry Kabinett pairs particularly well with lightly spicy Asian dishes, sushi, salads with citrus dressings, roast chicken or pork, and soft cheeses; given its age, bottles are best enjoyed now to around 2025 while the fruit remains vibrant and the sweetness and acidity are in balance.​

Alcohol: around 8–9% ABV, typical for Mosel Kabinett of this style and vintage.​

Closure: Cork (standard for Kinheimer Rosenberg Kabinett bottlings).
