February 3, 2014: News, Wines of the Month
We highlight this month a delicious off-dry Kabinett from a fascinating new project, the Edition Bee.

The Edition Bee project (the "Bee" refers to the bees seen in the vineyard) is a joint project between Timo Dienhart, owner at the biodynamic zur Römerkelter Estate in Maring-Noviand, and Andreas Thran, a wine lover from Trier.
Together, they decided to produce quality wines made with ambient yeasts in a traditional way from vineyards situated essentially in Maring, a small village tucked away in the side valley behind Lieser, just off the Mosel River.

Maringer Honigberg Riesling Kabinett Feinherb Blauschiefer

This offers a delicious nose driven by some fresh herby flavors of cardamom, white peach, pear, poached apple, citrus as well as a hint of tangerine, orange, almond and honey. This excels on the palate, which proves irresistibly light, intense and juicy. The mouth-watering finish makes one go for more. This gorgeous effort will benefit from some bottle age. 2018-2027
