Falkenstein excel with this style of wine year after year. Steely, racy, very pure and long. Spontaneous fermentation like all the wines here with no enzymes of other additives, leads to a 'sponti' nose - showing a little reduction.
Mosel Fine Wines say:
The 2022er Krettnacher Altenberg Riesling Spätlese Trocken comes from 50-60-year-old vines in the Enkers part of the vineyard. Slightly reductive
and flinty at first, this develops a minty ad spicy nose of aniseed, vineyard peach, minty herbs, lime tree, and white pepper. The wine is very intense
and compact on the palate, with great presence yet freshness and comparatively lightness in the long and vibrating finish. The finish is tight and
salty. This is a great dry Saar Riesling. 2025-2037
