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 said about the 2022 (2023 not yet published):
 
The 2022er Niedermenniger Herrenberg Riesling Spätlese Feinherb Meyer Nepal (the reference to this internal cask name is provided in small print
on the label after the AP number) comes from vines planted in the 1950s in the upper part of the vineyard and was fermented to off-dry levels of
residual sugar. It offers a beautifully fresh and finely aromatic nose of grapefruit, vineyard peach, tangerine, candied lime, lime tree, and mint. The
wine is superbly balanced on the palate, where candied citrusy fruits interplay with fine orchard fruits. The finish has a lot of focus and precision with
superb airiness. 2026-2042
