Description
What kind of wine it is
Hofgut Falkenstein's Krettnacker Echariusberg Riesling Spätlese is a semi-aromatic still white wine produced in Germany. Made exclusively from Riesling grapes, it falls into the Spätlese category, indicating a late harvest. It is distinguished by a fresh and juicy profile, supported by a marked savouriness and significant ageing potential. This wine perfectly expresses the tension between residual sugar and freshness, typical of German Rieslings. Elegant and persistent, it develops clear aromas reminiscent of citrus fruits.
Where it comes from
This Riesling originates in Germany, within the famous Mosel-Saar-Ruwer region, and more specifically from the Echariusberg vineyard located in the municipality of Krettnach. The terroir expresses a typical saline tension. The winery, led by Erich Weber, adopts an approach based on rigorous manual work among the vine rows, deeply respecting the area's traditional style to transfer the authentic local identity into the glass.
How it is produced
The production process is based on the strict criteria of the Spätlese classification, which involves a late harvest of the bunches. The postponed harvest allows the Riesling grapes to naturally concentrate sugars and aromatic precursors. In the cellar, vinification is aimed at preserving varietal purity, seeking the perfect balance between natural saline tension and residual sugar. The result is a wine with solid ageing potential, capable of developing further complexity over time while keeping its energy intact.
