The first thought was it to be riesling, and when you pointed out the high sugar, it made sense to be Mosel Kabinett. Could not have guessed the correct year, but the price range sounded reasonable

I think the waxy notes can be a hallmark of aged Riesling but not usually such a young one, and like you said the color didn't indicated age. Interesting! I LOVE aged Riesling. Maybe I'll go pick up a bottle of this young one!

Yes, that was why Chenin was my initial guess; even young Chenin can have that wax character. And me too, love old Riesling!

@@visforvino love your content, by the way. My wife and I always watch when you put out a new episode and I love the blind tasting series as well! One thing I've been really curious about is whether you are a wine collector, how you personally approach that, what kinds of wines you really like etc. Maybe not as broad appeal but I love that stuff, and you're an expert! Maybe others would, too? Keep it up!

As an indication, the Moselle is a river which has its source in France and which then flows into Germany. There is good wine in the Moselle.

I thought it was Chenin once you said honey, wax, rubber…but then you were hyping up the sugar and I was torn between Riesling and Chenin like you. I have Chenin in my fridge right now so I was tasting it to see if it was matching yours. I guessed Riesling as well just based off your hype of the sugar. Mosel Riesling 2021 vintage was my final. :) I was a little scared about the place hahaha

haha Yes, they can be similar, so it can be tough! I would usually expect much more weight/body out of Chenin than Riesling.

Petrol note = Riesling (usually). And minerality, high acidity, low alcohol/healthy dose of restsugar would in my book point towards traditional Riesling from slate. Mosel would be the usual suspect. So you did great here. I drank these not totally dry Rieslings many times. A bit of residal sugar is needed to balance them. They pair great with (sea)food or are nice to enjoy on a summerevening. I tried also bonedry Mosel Rieslings, but most were to sour for my taste. Riesling is my favourite grape for white wines. Currently I am totally into (dry) Rieslings from Nahe, Pfalz and Rheinhessen. Even the entry wines from these regions are often darn good and considering the prices a real steal.

The levels of residual sugar in Mosel Rieslings can be quite tricky sometimes. Especially if the wine is something called "fine herb", which is a trick of winemakers to circumvent german wine laws and gives the wines a level of residual sugar that can lie between the lower levels of off-dry up to nearly the levels of sweet wines (but not of the levels of Beerenauslese or Trockenbeerenauslese)

Kabinett Riesling is such an interesting style of wine and pairs brilliantly with so many types of foods. My favourite is the Lieser version with Szechuan prawns.
