Niedermenniger Herrenberg Spätlese feinherb A.P. #4 2019

Light golden color with a tinge of green. Beautifully perfumed with aromas of apricots and honey with a dash of pears. Chamomile and lilacs with green apples and slate. Riesling has never truly been my jam in my past but this is a really nice example of what the grape can be. Sharp acidity and nice purity of fruit.

Off dry with just the right amount of sweetness here, this has terrific balance throughout. Smooth and elegant, with a nice level of refinement. The palate features Meyer lemons, melons, and crisp citrus fruits. Slate, minerality, and a bit of spice. Light and decidedly fresh, these Hofgut Falkenstein wines are indeed the real deal.

Niedermenniger Sonnenberg Riesling Kabinett trocken 2017

This is light bodied but so intense. Lots of chalk and minerality, and of course loads of acid. Long finish. Fruit is definitely secondary to the minerality. Quite nice. — 7 years ago

Südtirol Vinschgau Val Venosta Riesling

Perhaps the best example of resiling I have ever had the opportunity to sample.

Dry, but lots of honey on the finish. Pear up front. One of my favorite whites

AP 8 Alte Reben Krettnacher Euchariusberg Kabinett Riesling 2019

My first 2019 Falkenstein. Similar to the few Falkenstein’s of previous vintages that I have consumed , the wine’s acidity takes front & center stage . A nose of lime , peaches and stone fruit put a smile on my face. In the mouth a structure that tickles your mouth like a lovers tongue. Just when you think sweetness might take over, the acidity behaves like a boxer who has their opponent on the ropes. A wave of minerals leave a long caressing finish in the mouth. — 4 years ago

Krettnacher Altenberg Spätlese Riesling 2014

Laser acidity, but with a lot of depth. Grapefruit, lime, hints of tropical fruit that allude to a sweetness that is totally not there at all. Great length, too. — 7 years ago
