Notes from the Producer: 2024 was a vintage in which the great vineyards produced only great wines. Due to climate change, the great vineyards are often not as prominent as they were before climate change. Sometimes, however, one is reminded of earlier times. This was the case in the 2024 wine year. There was a clear gradation from great vineyards to medium vineyards and lesser vineyards. This 2024 Kabinett shines with richness and length, yet is not heavy.
