Vineyard and Terroir The Trittenheimer vineyards are classified among the Mosel’s finest, with steep slate slopes overlooking the river. These soils impart distinctive minerality and freshness to the wines, while the cool climate ensures vibrant acidity and aromatic complexity. Vintage Quality – 2005 The 2005 vintage in Germany is considered legendary. A superb growing season, capped by an Indian summer, allowed grapes to reach full ripeness while retaining precise acidity. Kabinett wines from this year are celebrated for their balance, finesse, and remarkable aging potential. Tasting Profile The nose is stony and mineral-driven, complemented by vivid aromas of pear, melon, and green apple. On the palate, tropical fruit tones emerge, with ripe pear and melon layered over subtle tangerine notes. The texture is plump and succulent, leading to a long, mouthwatering finish.
