Solid dry Mosel Spatlese Riesling. Balanced citrus, slate, and petrol aromas. Heavy mouth feel. Not as complex as others I've had recently, but I'm biased having sampled many reserve and Alsatian grand crus. — 6 months ago
Round 2 / this time with a selection of cheeses.
Lemongrass, pandan leaf, white cherries.
Zesty comes to mind. Straight up Asian pair. The crispness of fresh forest air. Savory, fine bubbles of tropical fruit. Lychee and mango but subtle and cut with the nice welcome dryness of biting into a freshly picked apple — 2 years ago
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. — 5 years ago
Prototype Spätlese, sweet and satisfying. Honeydew and lemon. Not complex; quick finish; but could drink the whole bottle. — 3 months ago
Key lime soda and white peach. Steely vibrations with pop sparkle. — 4 months ago
Slightly sweeter than off-dry but with such purity & balance. And the lightness is sublime.
White peaches & lime on the front with labor sharp acidity cutting through and finishing off on a stony, rocky mineral note with a hint of salinity.
This is mouthwatering delicious and begs for (yet) another sip. Simply made for terrace sipping!

Pear, lemon, lemon curd. Cloudy, acidic and yet lactic and soft. A tad touch of minerality on the finish with hints of calcium. Tiny bubbles but lively enough. Really dig this one. — 2 years ago
Just awesome unpretentiousness. Med+ acid, apple, grapefruit, white flower maybe… and sense of place. Sixteen ninety nine. ❤️ — 2 years ago
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 — 4 years ago
