2018 Falkenstein Krettnacher Euchariusberg Riesling Kabinett AP 12

Beautifully approachable even now, but has the stuffing to develop further complexity. 

Pop and pour. Gotta love the traditional method of winemaking reflected by 9.0% abv. Made from the fruit of 50 year old vines.

Grapefruit up front followed by lime zest and hints of smoke on the finish. Gently envelopes your palate with gossamer, mouthwatering acidity. The deft mouthfeel is part of the signature elegance of Falkenstein wines. 

A nice counterpoint to the in-your-face youthfulness and bracing acidity of the 2018 Keller von der Fels. Two very different styles of winemaking, IMO. 

Paired nicely with shrimp tacos with a bit of spicy remoulade. 

A wine that keeps you coming back for more.... a wine with soul!
