Experience the Elegance of Falkenstein’s 2023 Krettnacher Altenberg Riesling Spätlese Trocken

Discover a captivating expression of Mosel terroir with this organic German Riesling from the esteemed Falkenstein estate. Crafted from meticulously tended, 50-60-year-old vines in the prized Enkers parcel of the Altenberg vineyard, this dry Spätlese offers an exceptional balance of intensity and finesse perfect for the discerning wine lover.

The nose enchants with a beautifully defined bouquet: think ripe mirabelle plum, hints of fresh greengage, subtle smoky notes, and vibrant citrus zest. On the palate, experience its true magic – an elegantly weightless, light-bodied Riesling that surprises with its concentrated depth of flavour. Vibrant acidity carries layers of zesty fruit across a mineral-driven palate, culminating in a remarkably long, pure finish where delicate stone fruit nuances linger gracefully alongside distinct stony minerality.

Rated 92 Points by Mosel Fine Wines, this age-worthy white wine (drink 2028-2038) boasts a racy yet utterly engaging structure. Its lower alcohol level (11.5%) enhances its refreshing drinkability and makes it a superb companion for lighter cuisine – pair beautifully with seafood dishes, fresh goat cheese, or simply enjoy its sophisticated profile on its own.

Organically farmed in Germany’s iconic Mosel region, this limited-production 2023 vintage Riesling represents authentic quality and sustainable viticulture. Experience the precision and charm that only old vines and masterful winemaking can deliver.
