10.5% abv. Pop and pour.
Elegantly rich flavor at modest alcohol level... love the master artistry from Erich and Johannes Weber. Sourced from 60+ year old vines. AP #1 ( known as Mutter Ana, Meyer Sidney cask).
This is a very substantial dry Riesling. Teethclenchingly young at this stage. Better in 5 years, I would expect, with a very long life ahead. Mellows slightly over a couple of hours in the glass, but maintains a clearly defined structure.
Pear and lemon front end giving way to pithy blood orange on the saline framed finish. Herbal nose with slight hints of petrol that will manifest over time.
Being a Mosel novice, I typically gravitate toward sweeter Rieslings but this trocken is an education in the complex elegance of the dry wines from Hofgut Falkenstein.
