Hofgut Falkenstein Krettnacher Altenberg Riesling Spatlese Trocken 2025

Hofgut Falkenstein’s Krettnacher Altenberg Riesling Spätlese Trocken is a dry, still white wine that captures the distinctive character of the Saar within the Mosel region. Made from carefully selected late-harvest Riesling, it combines clear fruit with a taut, mineral-driven structure, reflecting the Weber family’s traditional approach to the vineyard.

Tasting Notes
Pale straw-yellow with greenish highlights, it opens with fresh citrus aromas. The palate is lively and precise, with bright acidity, a pronounced saline edge and a long, focused finish. Its firm structure gives it the potential to develop over the next five to ten years.

Production
The grapes come from the Krettnacher Altenberg vineyard in the Saar Valley, part of the Mosel-Saar-Ruwer wine region. A carefully selected late harvest is followed by winemaking intended to preserve the fruit’s purity and natural acidity, resulting in a dry, vertical style that expresses the vineyard’s soils and local microclimate. Further details on harvesting methods and specific vinification techniques are not provided.

Food & Serving
Serve at around 10–12°C. Its dry structure and saline freshness make it a good match for lean fish, poultry, light meats and a selection of cheeses. Decanting guidance is not specified; serve chilled and allow the wine time to open in the glass.

Producer
