"From ungrafted 80-year-old vines in the long-celebrated Gross Schock portion of the Euchariusberg, the 2019 Riesling Krettnacher Euchariusberg Kabinett Alte Reben now displays the site’s nickname, Gisela, in small print on the label. Remarkably for a residually sweet Kabinett, and especially one from this vintage, the initial impression is of Riesling’s fruitiness being sublimated, the nose leading strikingly with salt spray, green tea, lichen and wet stone. If anything, those herbal and mineral elements are intensified with time in the air, while serving for delightful counterpoint with bright, luscious grapefruit, lime and pear on an ultra-delicate palate, leading to a finish whose sheer persistence – to say nothing of its infectious juiciness and mouthwateringly savory complexity – is sensational." —David Schildknecht

"From ungrafted vines planted in the 1930s, the single-plot 2019 Krettnacher Euchariusberg Riesling Kabinett Alte Reben #8 Gisela is highly refined and delicate on the pure and flinty nose that displays very fine slate aromas and delicate fruit. Generously round and salty-piquant on the sophisticated palate, this is a sublime grand cru in the filigreed yet intense and sustainable Kabinett style. The sweetness is moderate and perfectly balanced by the body and the pervasive mineral background. The 2019 is another fascinating Gisela with an enormously long, pure, piquant and salty finish. 7.5% alcohol is 1.5% less than the 2018 contained. Tasted in May 2020." —Stephan Reinhardt

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!
