Hofgut Falkenstein Herrenberg Riesling Kabinett Trocken 2020

$55.00

Aromatic, kummel like herbs, kaffir lime, kiwifruit, green apple and damp leaves. Elegant and filigreed, a wine that is very light, and opens up enormously given some time in the glass. Scintillating, racing and bracing. Mineral, zesty and salty. For all it’s lightness, it’s so complex and detailed. The best “light” white wine you could possibly hope for. Waters Wine Co

The 2020er Niedermenniger Herrenberg Riesling Kabinett Trocken Mutter Anna (the reference to this internal cask name is provided in small print on the label after the AP number) comes from 60-70-year-old vines. This wine proves still quite backward and driven by residual scents from its spontaneous fermentation. It takes a while to open up and reveal its refreshing, spicy, and floral nose of lime, gooseberry, freshly cut herbs, lavender, lime, green apple, and smoke. The wine is all about linearity, salty zest, and focus on the palate and leaves at this stage little beyond an animating feel tartness and bitter sweetness in the straight finish. This animating light-weighted yet intense fully dry-tasting Kabinett will require quite some years to reveal more depth but will remain one for lovers of racy Saar wines. 2024-2028+. 89 points – Mosel Fine Wines, Issue 57
