Where it comes from
This Prädikatswein originates from the Niedermenniger Herrenberg vineyard, located in the Saar area, within the renowned Mosel wine region. The exceptional terroir imparts extraordinary aromatic clarity and a distinct saline character to the wine. The Hofgut Falkenstein estate, led by Erich Weber with the contribution of his son Johannes, devotes meticulous care to vineyard work to enhance the characteristics of the terroir.

How it is produced
The winemaking process respects the delicacy of the Riesling grapes, preserving their intrinsic fruit tension. After a careful harvest, the process continues to maintain the aromatic precision that defines the Kabinett. The subsequent ageing phase consolidates the aromatic purity and makes the wine more harmonious, skilfully blending the gentle sweetness with the underlying mineral savouriness. The result ensures a smooth and balanced sip, offering in the glass a faithful and rigorous interpretation of Mosel viticulture.
