Description
What kind of wine it is
Hofgut Falkenstein Krettnacher Altenberg Riesling Spätlese Trocken is a still, dry white wine that rigorously expresses the terroir of Germany. In the glass, it appears a straw yellow colour with bright greenish highlights. On the nose, fresh citrus notes emerge, preceding a sip characterised by vibrant saline tension. The finish is long and precise, testament to the solid structure of this dry version obtained from a late harvest. Thanks to its integrity, the wine has an ageing potential of five to ten years.
Where it comes from
The grapes for this white wine originate in the Mosel-Saar-Ruwer region, specifically in the Krettnacher Altenberg vineyard, located along the Saar valley. The territorial identity is ensured by the work of the Weber family, who run the Hofgut Falkenstein winery. The production approach aims to achieve an essential, taut and vertical Riesling. This profound connection with its place of origin is evident in a glass with impeccable aromatic definition, authentically conveying the characteristics of the soil and local microclimate.
How it is produced
This Spätlese Trocken comes from a carefully selected late harvest, followed by vinification processes designed to enhance the purity of the fruit and the natural acidity of the grape. The result is a dynamic and highly drinkable flavour profile. Served at a temperature of around ten to twelve degrees, it proves extremely versatile in food pairings. The combination of pronounced savouriness and dry structure makes it ideal for accompanying lean fish dishes, white meats, poultry and a selection of cheeses.
