Tasting Notes

Krettnacher Euchariusberg

2017 - Krettnacher Euchariusberg Riesling Spätlese
The nose is clear like cold steel, berries, green apples, herbs. The palate is crystal clear, powerful fresh acidity, berries again, razor sharp minerality. The finish comes down like an icecold waterfall that makes you want to drink more.

2017 - Krettnacher Euchariusberg Riesling Kabinett
Herbal, fresh nose with floral elements and beautiful mineral spices, bright color. On the palate jucy and harmonic, fresh and straight, steel clear, great acidity-residual-sugar-balance, green apple, lime zest. A perfect wine for a great summer night. 

Oberemmler Karlsberg

2016 - Oberemmler Karlsberg Riesling Kabinett "er zappelt"
This is the special edition of Hofgut Falkenstein for our friends from @no.elf – actually a separate Fuder which is an awesome, vibrant Riesling. The nose is dominated by a citrus bouquet with lots of herbal elements, unripe pineapple, yellow apples, white peach and pear. Straight and direct, but light and flying. On the palate a clear and fresh acidity like an ice cold mountain stream mixed with beautiful minerality and citrus flavors. You can’t stop drinking as the fresh acidity covers the light residual sugar and invites you to continue. Awesome!

Niedermenninger Herrenberg

2017 - Niedermenninger Herrenberg Riesling
The nose is very minerality driven, wet stones, white pepper spices, very herbal – very individual style of Falkenstein. On the palate you have this racy, icy clear acidity that is very typical for the Saar. In a #blindtasting you would never guess this to be a Spätlese. There are yellow fruit notes but the powerful acidity covers most of the residual sugar and leaves a mouthwatering again very minerality driven – almost slightly salty – finish. A Spätlese that finishes salty. Simply outstanding! Please keep going guys.

Niedermenninger Sonnenberg

2016 - Niedermenninger Sonnenberg Riesling Spätlese trocken
The nose comes with ripe yellow fruit notes, especially peach and apricots, fresh herbs, some candied ripe grapefruit and spices, very clear and juicy, bit of ripe pear, lime peel too. The palate is crystal clear, straight and mouthwatering, very fresh acidity, herbal notes, great spicy minerality, no sweetness. Finishes with spices, citrus and lime peel. Super fresh, super inviting.

Krettnacher Ober Schäfershaus

2018 - Krettnacher Ober Schäfershaus Riesling Spätlese “Fass Goldrichs”
Mineralic-juicy nose of ripe apples and pears, also citrus notes, cold steel, fresh but also quite ripe. On the palate herbs, deeply mineralic, fruity with ripe apples, but also great spices. Finishes with lime peel, unripe donut peach and great rose pepper notes. So delicious.
