Julian Haart Ohligsberg Kabinett 2024 reflects the estate's characteristic Mosel elegance: delicate fruit, relaxed acidity, and a pronounced minerality that lends the wine depth. The Ohligsberg, an expressive terroir characteristic of the estate, gives this Kabinett its distinctive structure. The 2024 vintage delivers a crisp freshness with subtle fruit sweetness, promising immediate drinking pleasure according to critics. Falstaff, Parker, Jancis Robinson, Jeff Leve, and Wine Spectator all praise the balance with which this wine combines freshness and finesse. The wine displays a lively finish with a mineral aftertaste and a hint of honey plum.
The nose is dominated by green apples, lime zest, and a floral delicacy; on the palate, a distinct minerality unfolds, accompanied by a gentle residual sweetness and lively acidity that keeps the wine fresh and exciting. The Ohligsberg winery relies on precise craftsmanship, allowing the Kabinett to retain its typicity – elegant, approachable, yet complex – and an elegant finish.
The 2024 Kabinett is already approachable, but its drinking maturity will continue to develop. It is expected to reach its optimal drinking window between 2025 and 2028, after which the wine will remain present and harmonious for many years. Food pairing recommendation: grilled local pike-perch with lemon butter, asparagus dishes with a light hollandaise sauce, or an Asian vegetable stir-fry with ginger and chili.
