$39.99

The Klosterkammer is a site that is normally used for sparklings and the "Ohnes" - but this year the frosts destroyed about 75% of the harvest here but the small amount remaining was perfectly ripe, just a touch above Kabinett ripeness level and he couldn't resist. Not since 2011, I think, has Stein made a Kabinett Trocken under 10% ABV - I think this is between 9-9.5% (though it says 10% on the label), with around 9 grams of acid and less than 1 gram of RS. This is brutal; pristine, but very severe. Experts only please: Honestly most normal humans will just not understand this wine. And that's ok. - vB
