Messwein Kabinett 2005 (White) (RV) This “Welschriesling Messwein” has been selected once again to be the wine to be sacrificed in the holy mess in the Church of Illmitz – a small town which is known for its wines. The Messwein is a very refreshing, stylish and elegant white wine. Very stylish, herbal and fruity aromas in the bouquet – on the palate it is light and crisp, with a hint of green apples.
