Weingut Seehof Riesling ‘Elektrisch’ Feinherb 2021
Reg $20 Soul Wine Society $17
Wine Notes: "Elektrisch" translates to, yup you guessed it, electric - and that's how we like our Kabinetts. Which is to say, lighter, more delicate, less sweet and more acid-driven than a lot of the Kabinetts on the market, which are really little more than de-classified Spätlese. In our opinion, that's like taking a stick of butter and calling it mineral water. The "Elektrisch" is made by Florian Fauth of Weingut Seehof and is mostly (in 2019 about 70%) sourced from the estates' holdings. While the leaner price might suggest lower quality fruit, that's really not the case. With the 2019 vintage, most of the fruit comes from the Aulerde, one of the Grand Cru sites of Westhofen. Both Klaus Peter Keller, Florian's brother-in-law, and Philip Wittmann farm parcels in the Aulerde: this vineyard is the real deal. Roughly 30% of the fruit is not "sourced," in the generic and dirty-sounding way that word is often used, but rather bought from Florian's good friends in the village. The 2019 is, as one might gather from the vintage of which Keller has written, "...one of the best vintages of the last 20 years," AWESOME. It is electric with vivid and mouth watering granny smith apple and citrus and a live-wire of minerality and acidity nearly pulsating through it. For those of you who like the numbers: the mere 36 grams of residual sugar is easily countered and lifted by 7.4 grams of acidity. This is not only a true Kabinett, it is an "electric Kabinett."
We offer wines, in all price ranges that are selected by a group of 4 passionate wine lovers. Whether it’s something from our everyday drinking section, a local specialty, a hard to find French or Italian or the best of the natural wine world we select them all with equal care.
In addition if you join our Wine Club or Soul Wine Society you receive 15% off our already competitive prices.
Michael Teer
Owner Michael Teer has worked at Pike and Western since 1980, buying it in 1991. While still primarily a brick and mortar store our online presence is meant to not only enhance the business but give a sense of what the personality of the shop is. While wine is certainly Michael’s business it is also deeply integrated into his life.
