Drunk at the Lothar Kettern winery with winemaker Philipp Kettern on the 13th August 2014. We visited at the recommendation of Dirk Niepoort.
Another Niepoort collaboration. Buttery but zesty too in the nose. Sweetish entry, rounded with very fresh light acid, dry finish with great minerality – fizzy slate. The Kabinett is the first wine harvested, at the start of October each year.

I noted this in my little black book: "light, slim wine where you don't notice the sweetness, good Kabinett"
