Dry Kabinett from 50-year-old vines in the Niedermenniger Sonnenberg, a southwest-facing site in the Saar's Tälchen side valley. Erich Weber began winemaking in 1981, purchasing the dilapidated Falkensteinerhof (established 1901) in 1985 and restoring it himself. Now joined by son Johannes, the estate farms 13 hectares of old Riesling vines. Iron-rich gray slate soils with quartz at 200-280 meters elevation. Hand-harvested, gently pressed, fermented exclusively with indigenous yeasts in ancient 1,000-liter oak Fuder casks. Each Fuder bottled separately. No commercial yeast, enzymes, or chaptalization.

More about Hofgut Falkenstein

The Webers bought this Saar estate in 1981 and decided to do everything in barrel—fermentation, elevage, everything. No tanks at all. Each Fuder gets bottled separately, a restoration of old-time practice that lets you taste the micro-variations between casks from the same site. Minimal intervention since 2021-certified organic; this is Mosel winemaking as philosophy.

WINE GUIDES

German Wines

Is there a better grape than Riesling? Is there a better value? Its fruit purity, its perfume, and its mineral nuance are all unparalleled. And for centuries, the top German Rieslings were priced accordingly: at least as expensive as the top red wines of Bordeaux and Burgundy. But nowadays you could spend a lifetime exploring Germany’s great Riesling-producing regions while staying well within your budget. You might take an occasional break to try Germany’s other white grapes or perhaps a glass of Spätburgunder (the local name for Pinot Noir). It’s time to get started!
