The 2015 Gefen Hashalom Von Hövel Saar Riesling Kabinett is nothing short of a revelation—arguably one of the finest authentic kosher Rieslings ever crafted. Sourced from the Saar’s legendary slate-laden slopes, it bursts with crystalline purity, releasing an intoxicating bouquet of white grapefruit, green apple, and lime blossom layered over a striking core of wet stone and cool mountain herbs. On the palate, it’s electric yet graceful—racy acidity drives waves of citrus, green plum, and subtle mint, while a whisper of natural sweetness perfectly balances its bone-dry precision. The texture is light as air yet deeply structured, echoing with mineral salinity that lingers for minutes. This is a masterwork of terroir expression—vibrant, age-worthy, and an unforgettable benchmark for what kosher Riesling can be.
