Review

The grapes for their 2008 Munsterer Kapellenberg Riesling Kabinett, relate Rumpfs, were fully ripe, indeed on the point of turning from golden to pale purple, yet still not hugely high in must weight (though significantly higher than for the corresponding Rheinberg). Ripe strawberry and pear are nicely supported by the wine’s sweetness, and fresh lime, nut oils and salt add interest on a glossy but buoyant palate and a persistently sappy and saline as well as dynamic finish. Like the Rheinberg, it’s unapologetically but not excessively sweet. Enjoy it over the next ten or a dozen years. - Wine Advocate
