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

"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.

Lovely lovely Kabinett Riesling with some nice age. Goes on for a long time. Great acid. Needs a bit of air to flesh out, and once it does, quite delicious. 8.5%. — 3 months ago

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

Good phase, it has shed the most youthful aromas of pear candy and is mainly about lemon, lime, petroleum and stone. Mouthwatering acidity and good length. — 4 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

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!
Brilliant! — a year ago
