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 Euchariusberg Riesling Kabinett Alte Reben Gisela (the reference to this internal cask name is provided in small print on
the label after the AP number) was harvested in a parcel still planted with 70-80-year-old un-grafted vines in the prime Gross Schock sector of the
vineyard, which was classified in the highest category on the old taxation maps, and was fermented down to barely fruity-styled levels of residual
sugar. This offers a beautifully fresh and magnificently herbal and spicy nose of candied lime, grapefruit zest, redcurrant, violet, fresh almond, and
greengage. The wine is superbly packed into great ripe and juicy acidity. The finish is beautifully tangy and playful. What a great Kabinett! 2032- 2047
