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 :
 
The 2024er Krettnacher Euchariusberg Riesling Spätlese Klaus (the reference to this internal cask name is provided in small print on the label after the AP number) comes from fruit harvested on 60-year-old vines in the prime Gross Schock sector of the vineyard and was fermented down to sweet levels of residual sugar. A whiff of initial reduction slowly gives way to fresh and minty notes of vineyard peach, candied grapefruit, lime, thyme, plum, and white pepper. The wine proves gorgeously juicy yet fresh, spicy, and smoky. The finish is marked by acidity, which brings a lot of tension and zesty freshness. This remarkable Spätlese now only needs a bit of time to reveal all its facets. 2034-2054
