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 Ockfener Bockstein Riesling Kabinett Schorsch (the reference to this internal cask name is provided in small print on the label after the
AP number) is made from fruit harvested on vines planted in the 1990s and was fermented down to fruity-styled levels of residual sugar. It has a
slightly reserved yet elegant nose of white orchard fruits, cassis, blackberry, minty herbs, almond cream, and fresh herbs. The wine shows a superb
creamy feel on the light-weighted and pure palate, and leaves a very spicy and herbal finish. 2027-2037
