Hofgut Falkenstein Niedermenniger Riesling Kabinett ‘Feinherb’ 2020

$60.00

Intense and full of character with notes of white flowers, stone fruits, citrus, spice, cherry and blackcurrant. Intense and full of presence, but with a lightness of touch. The spice is more elevated on the palate (clove) and although off-dry, feels drier for all that. Scintillating and mineral as you so often find with Falkenstein, I cannot imagine why we don’t drink more Feinherb’s, when they are as titillating as this. Waters Wine Co

The 2020er Niedermenniger Herrenberg Riesling Kabinett Feinherb Herbert (the reference to this internal cask name is provided in small print on the label after the AP number) comes from 50-60-year-old vines in the Langenberg sector of the vineyard and was fermented down to off-dry levels of residual sugar (24 g/l). It feels quite aromatic, flowery, and even fruity as notes of white flowers, gooseberry, white peach, lime, and anise emerge from the glass. The wine proves nicely juicy and fruity side on the overall rather zesty palate and leaves a gorgeously light-footed feel wrapped into more supple and suave elements in the spicy finish. This off-dry Riesling proves already quite enjoyable but will only reveal its full potential in a few years. 2022-2030. 92 points – Mosel Fine Wines, Issue 57
