AJ Adam, Riesling Dhroner Hofberg Kabinett, 2023

The Dhroner Hofberg is one of the Mosel’s great under-the-radar sites—steep, south-facing, and laced with iron-rich Devonian slate. Andreas Adam has made it his life’s work to elevate this historic vineyard, and his Kabinett bottling is a masterclass in balance: low alcohol, delicate sweetness, and searing mineral cut. The 2023 vintage brings even more freshness and definition. Aromas of lime blossom, green apple, and wild herbs lead into a palate that dances between sweetness and acidity, never tipping too far in either direction. It’s a wine of nuance and motion—vibrant now, but with the bones to age beautifully. Perfect with spicy dishes, smoked trout, or simply on its own with a good chill. For lovers of Mosel Riesling in its most classic, featherlight form, A.J. Adam’s Hofberg Kabinett 2023 is pure joy in a glass.
