Niedermenniger Herrenberg Spätlese Weißburgunder 2019

Finally got to try one of these with some bottle age. Maybe my favorite wine in their lineup; super unique. Unlike any Pinot blanc anywhere and really shares more with Riesling from the konzer tälchen than anything. Beautiful, crystalline stuff. — 2 months ago

Pét Nat Riesling

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. — 8 months ago

"AP Nr 14" Krettnacher Euchariusberg Riesling Spatlese 2019

"Slow Decanting" this young spatlese over a couple of weeks with the Vinloq System

DAY 1
👃Careens from the chilled bottle with limes and apples plus minerality & petrol
👅Sweetness leads. Fruit, florals and acidity follow. The minerality is there for the finish. The acidity is fresh and palate cleaning. Lip smacking, if you will

The remaining wine was Slow Decanted for 18 days in my refrigerator

DAY 18
This hasn't budged during the interim. Apple, peach, pear with lime on the finish. The standard hallmarks of Falkenstein are present with the extra midpalate density seen in so many 2019
German riesling. Classy. Fresh. Clean

This 2019 is just getting started. It is delicious in this youthful, energetic state. I cannot wait to see where this goes as it develops over time in the cellar.

PET NAT White Blend

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
