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.

The 2024er Krettnacher Altenberg Riesling Spätlese Trocken comes from 50-60-year-old vines in the Enkers part of the vineyard. It shows a finely aromatic and attractive nose of yellow peach, greengage, herbs, thyme, mint, and almond. The wine is intense and tight on the palate, with still quite some herbal and spicy notes. The finish is hugely long and salty, and fully bone-dry in taste. There is a touch of tartness in need of integration before true pleasure. This is an aromatic, yet racy Riesling. 2029-2044
