Krettnacher Ober Schäfershaus Riesling Spätlese trocken AP18
Spätlese fruit handled bone dry with great density but little to no weight. More power, more depth, more length. Peach skin, smoke, and firm minerality. It’s the grown-up in the room but still taut and alive.
Hofgut Falkenstein
Erich and Johannes Weber have been quietly shaping this small estate since the mid-’80s, farming steep grey-slate slopes around Niedermennig and Krettnach with nothing but hand tools, intuition, and time. No chemicals, no shortcuts — just grass between the vines and a deep respect for how the land wants to grow.
Each parcel is its own little universe. Grapes are hand-harvested, whole clusters pressed, and the juice runs by gravity into old fuders — massive wooden barrels, each tied to a single plot, often named after whoever farmed it generations ago.
The results are Rieslings that crackle with clarity and nerve — salty, bright, and feather-light, but structured with quiet intensity. Every fuder tells its own story, and each bottle feels like catching a specific current in the Saar’s cool flow.
