Riesling Kabinett

The parasol on the label is an accurate portent of what’s inside. This wine was made for warm, carefree days! Remarkably refreshing and deliciously drinkable, this is a quintessential example of a German Kabinett Riesling. Graceful, balanced with delicate aromas and a filigreed structure – a style the whole world would love to copy, but which no one does quite as well as the Saar.

Five generations of Willems women have managed the family's business. While today a dedicated winegrowing estate, up until 1971 it was still operated as a mixed farm. That was the year Maria Willems married Karl, who shared a distant ancestor and thus the same last name. And so Willems became Willems-Willems, a name still proudly in use today.

Maria’s daughter Carolin and her husband Jürgen are now responsible for the wines. Both Jurgen and Carolin frequently commute from their family home in Appenhem in Rheinhessen to the winegrowing estate on the Saar. General manager Peter Thelen is local full-time, looking after the grapes and the cellar. Grandparents Karl and Maria Willems regularly lend a helping hand as well, including responsibility for the holiday flats located in the historical section of the estate’s residence.
