A semi-sweet Riesling from a single vineyard.
Tasting Notes: Aromas of ripe exotic fruits and peaches. The natural sweetness is balanced by the grape acidity to give a very fresh feel to the wine.
Recommended food pairings: spicy food – particularly Thai or Indian cuisines. This may seem like a confusing pairing but don’t knock it until you try it. For proteins, think duck, pork, and bacon. On the seafood side, think crab and shrimp.1
A linocut of Falkensteinerhof by Matthew Kuhr.
The Weber family farms about 13 hectares in a side valley of the Saar known as Konzer Tälchen. All the grapes are hand-harvested (including those grapes, mostly from young vines, that are sold in bulk to the local co-op). The Riesling grapes are gently pressed whole bunch, and their musts are left overnight to settle naturally, before being racked and fermented with ambient yeasts in 1,000-liter Fuder casks (Fuderfässer) and a couple of 500-liter Halbfuder, the traditional fermenting and aging vessels for Mosel wine....
.....The father-and-son team of Erich and Johannes Weber don’t use herbicides and believe in low yields—just one short “flat” or non-arched cane (Flachbogen) per vine—to produce an array of dry (trocken), off-dry (feinherb), and fruity Saar wines, which represent true cask-by-cask bottlings.
