Production 
Kabinett is the lightest, most delicate style of Riesling in Germany, produced from the earliest harvested grapes in the best vineyard sites. Fermentation is stopped by chilling, which results in a lower final alcohol (typically 7.5–8.5 percent) and a moderate amount of residual sweetness that beautifully balances the bright acidity. It is the lowest level of Prädikatswein, lower in ripeness than Spätlese.
