Hofgut Falkenstein Riesling Spatlese Feinherb Niedermenniger Herrenberg

'Erich Weber of Hofgut Falkenstein makes ultra-traditional, dry-tasting Saar Rieslings. He likes to call himself “Winzer Weber.” (Winzer is German for winegrower.) In other words, the emphasis is on the work in his vineyards, where he spends most of his days.' - Lars Carlberg, Mosel Wine

Over the past 5 years, his wines have become darlings of the sommelier community and revered worldwide. We fell fortunate to get a decent allocation each year.

All fruit is hand harvested from this famed site, oft-compared to Scharzhofberg. Native yeasts, spontaneous fermentation, matured on the lees in 1,000 L barrels for 3-9 months before bottling in the spring. "Peachy, juicy, and chilly.” - Lars Carlberg
