2017 Hofgut Falkenstein Krettnacher Altenberg Riesling Spätlese trocken (AP 7)

One of my favorite producers in the world, the wines of Hofgut Falkenstein have become culty insider wines for Riesling lovers and acid freaks around the world.

Checking in on this wine at 8 years old and it is still incredibly youthful with electric acidity, crystalline transparency, and bursts with lemons and piquant peaches. This racy wine is salty and incredibly mineral. Like the salted rim of a beautifully made margarita. So pure and energizing, this has a wonderful interplay of refinement, layers of deep minerality, and pure unbridled nervous energy. These wines age effortlessly and this will be yet another example of a wine to watch for many years to come.
