Hofgut Falkenstein Kabinett Trocken Riesling AP21 2024
92 pts Mosel Fine Wine
From fruit picked on an old and partly un-grafted vines in this privileged south-facing sector of the Sonnenberg vineyard and was fermented down to barely fruity-styled levels of residual sugar. A slight reductive nose quickly gives way to notes of spearmint, muscat, earthy spices, ginger, smoke, greengage, and grapefruit. The wine is delicately juicy and refined on the palate and leaves a juicy and finely aromatic finish. This is a great, attractive Kabinett. 2032-2044
Erich Weber of Hofgut Falkenstein makes ultra-traditional, dry-tasting Saar Rieslings. He likes to call himself “Winzer Weber.” (Winzer is German for winegrower.) In other words, the emphasis is on the work in his vineyards, where he spends most of his days. With his tan and rugged face, he looks the part, too. Since his middle son, Johannes, has joined him full-time, there has been more of a focus on Rieslings with residual sugar. In recent years, their wines have also caught the attention of critics, both in and outside Germany.
