Kabinett is the first level of ripeness in the QmP category. It represents a measure of ripeness in the German classification system. It measures the amount of natural grape sugar in the juice at the point of harvest. Kabinett wines are usually the lightest (in alcohol) since this is the first level of QmP, which can not be chaptalized and has the lowest natural sugar amount to ferment. Kabinett wines can be very dry, dry, medium-dry, off-dry or sweeter style, depending on the decision of the winemaker when to stop the fermentation determining the amount of residual sweetness in the wine. Kabinett make for light great sipping wines, summer wines and party wines.
