"2022 is another success story for Hofgut Falkenstein. The wines all stand out for their clarity, complexity, and precision. Concentration and depth bring density to the wines, making them shine. They completely mask the softness and roundness often found in the 2022 vintage. To list all the great wines would be to include virtually all of them. But if we had to give our preferences, we would list Ober Schäfershaus Spätlese Trocken, Herrenberg Kabinett Feinherb Onkel Peter, Herrenberg Spätlese Feinherb Meyer Nepal, Euchariusberg Kabinett Alte Reben Gisela and Euchariusberg Auslese Förster.”

Usually $67 - Special Offer $63
"The 2022er Niedermenniger Herrenberg Riesling Kabinett Feinherb Herbert (the reference to this internal cask name is provided in small print on the label after the AP number) is an off-dry wine made from fruit harvested in the Kasselsheidchen part of the vineyard situated high up the slope. It offers a very elegant and pure nose of white and yellow fruits, jasmine, lavender, violet, and pear. The wine is delicately refined and juicy on the fruity and fresh palate.

Usually $77- Special Offer $73
"The 2022er Niedermenniger Herrenberg Riesling Spätlese Feinherb Palm (the reference to this internal cask name is provided in small print on the label after the AP number) comes from different small parcels on the western side of the vineyard and was fermented down to off-dry levels of residual sugar.

The wine proves incredibly creamy and refined on the delicately smooth and beautifully refined palate. The finish is more focused as zesty elements come through. Aromatic and fruity flavors are wrapped into fine spices and herbal elements in the after-taste."

The wine is beautifully playful and stillcompact on the palate, as the juicy elements of yellow fruits are wrapped into bright and lively juicy acidity. The finish is vibrating and superbly energetic. What a great Kabinett!"

The wine is superbly juicy and mouth-coating on the layered and spicy palate. The finish is layered and finely aromatic. This is a beautiful Spätlese."

Usually $124 - Special Offer $117
"The 2022er Ockfener Bockstein Riesling Kabinett Alte Reben Mia (the reference to this internal cask name is provided in small print on the label after the AP number) is made from fruit harvested on old vines planted in the 1960s and was fermented down to barely fruity-styled levels of residual sugar.

The wine is superbly playful and energetic on the zesty and pure palate. There is lightness as in a fresh mountain water wrapped into beautiful spicy and salty finish. The after-taste is already off-dry to dryish in style rather than fully fruity. This is a grand Kabinett."
