The harvest of the Mainzer Domherr Kabinett
The old vineyards, nestled in the heart of Rheinhessen, are yielding the winemaker a magnificent harvest. But this doesn't happen automatically, he explains; they work hard to make all the grapes shine. During the growing season, they prune extensively to allow the grapes to soak up plenty of sunlight. Thanks to the many hours of sunshine on the prime slopes, the grapes grow superbly, resulting in thick, full bunches. The grapes are harvested early in the morning to prevent damage to the bunches and to prevent oxidation. The grapes are transported in crates to St. Kilian and then gently and immediately pressed. The ripe juice matures for several months in the cellars and fully develops, resulting in a beautiful, soft flavor with a subtle sweetness.The scent and taste of the St. Kilian Mainzer Domherr
It's no wonder this is St. Kilian's best-selling sweet white wine, as this Mainzer Domherr from the Rheinhessen region is vibrant and incredibly smooth. It all begins upon opening the bottle, revealing beautiful notes of tropical fruit with a light hint of honey. These aromas are enhanced upon pouring, revealing nuances of red apple and sweet peach. The palate is exquisite, slightly sweet with abundant fruit notes, dominated by peaches and apricots. This white wine melts on the tongue and has a wonderful aftertaste.Product details
