Hofgut Falkenstein 2022 Krettnacher Euchariusberg Riesling Kabinett

The Weber family farms about 13 hectares in a side valley of the Saar known as Konzer Tälchen.
The Euchariusberg Kabinett AP 12 (known internally as “Kugel Peter”) is from 50 year-old grafted vines in the prime Gross Schock sector of the vineyard which was classified in the highest category on the old taxation maps, and was fermented down to barely fruity-styled levels of residual sugar (approx. 45 g/l). It delivers a very pure and flowery nose of citrus, grapefruit, peach, smoke, almond and mint. The wine is beautifully pure yet complex on the juicy palate. Some racy, almost Eiswein-induced, acidity gives a lot of zesty notes and tension to the finish. (Kugel Peter AP-12)
