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 Kabinett Feinherb Onkel Peter (the reference to this internal cask name is provided in small print on the label after the AP number) comes from un-grafted vines in the south-facing Zuckerberg sector of the vineyard and was fermented to off-dry levels of residual sugar. It has a magnificent nose of slightly reductive elements of almond cream, plenty of minty herbs, spices ,white flowers, blackberry, and white pepper. The wine is beautifully refined and light-weighted on the elegant and finely juicy palate. The finish is precise and airy. The complexity is simply breathtaking. What a magnificent off-dry Riesling! 2026-2042
